An overview of the extreme ultraviolet explorer and its scientific programNASA's Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) will carry out an all-sky survey from 8 to 90 nm in four bandpasses; the limiting sensitivity will be between 2 to 3 orders of magnitude fainter than the hot white dwarf HZ 43. A deep survey will also be carried out along the ecliptic which will have a limiting sensitivity of 1 to 2 orders of magnitude fainter than the all-sky survey in the bandpass from 8 to 50 nm. The payload also includes a spectrometer which will be used to observe the brighter sources found in the surveys with a spectral resolution of 1 to 2 A.
