1. Ultraviolet Light

   Linked via "accretion disks"

   Astrophysical Significance
   Ultraviolet astronomy relies heavily on instruments placed above the dense, UV-absorbing lower atmosphere. Observations in the UV range reveal critical information about very hot, young stellar populations, the structure of the interstellar medium, and the dynamics of accretion disks around compact objects.
   The energy associated with a photon in the UV band, $E$, can be related to its wavelength, $…
