We continue the study begun in Karasev et al. (2018) and present the results of our optical identifications of four hard X-ray sources from the INTEGRAL sky surveys. Having first improved the positions of these objects in the sky with the…

I review the development of UV and EUV astronomy, covering the spectral range from 5 to 300 nm, with emphasis on sky surveys for discrete sources. I discuss studies which resulted in lists of sources observed by imaging and deliberately…

We present an atlas of UV ($\sim 2300$ \AA) images, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Faint Object Camera, of the central $22''\times 22''$ of 110 galaxies. The observed galaxies are an unbiased selection constituting about one…

Using the Multimission Archives at Space Telescope (MAST), we have extracted spectra and determined continuum light curves for 175 Seyfert Galaxies that have been observed with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Faint…

We present spectroscopic observations of six optical counterparts of intermediate luminosity X-ray sources (ULXs) around nearby galaxies. The spectra of the six objects show the presence of broad emission features. The identification of…
