The UV spectrum of the Crab Nebula
Observations of the Crab nebula are described, which were made under the OAO 2/NASA guest-investigator program with WEP stellar photometers. The 10 foot-diameter focal plane diaphragm was ample enough to accept the 4 ft X 6 ft image. The logarithm of the integrated relative intensity per wavelength interval, corrected for sky background, and the rms error, from 11 passbands in the range 4250 to 1380 A, are given. No correction was given for polarization of light. The data were converted to logarithm of the flux density per frequency interval and plotted on scales of log nu (Hz) and of reciprocal microns with two adjustments.

Optical detection of oil on water
Three radiometric techniques utilizing sunlight reflected and backscattered from water bodies have potential application for remote sensing of oil spills. Oil on water can be detected by viewing perpendicular polarization component of reflected light or difference between polarization components. Best detection is performed in ultraviolet or far-red portions of spectrum and in azimuth directions toward or opposite sun.

Asteroid selection for mission opportunities. Appendix: Asteroid data sheets
The characteristics of asteroids selected as possible space mission objectives are presented. The asteroids are described according to: (1) magnitude, (2) spectral reflectivity; (3) phase factors, (4) polarization, (5) light curve, and (6) physical parameters. The data are tabulated on specific formats for each asteroid considered.

Photometric and polarimetric properties of the Bruderheim chondritic meteorite.
Study of the spectral, photometric, and polarimetric properties of the Bruderheim olivine-hypersthene chondritic meteorite. This meteorite is representative of the most common meteoritic material recovered on earth, and, hence, could also be the most common in interplanetary space. Yet, comparison with astronomical data indicates that none of the asteroids in the main belt for which adequate observations exist can be matched with Bruderheim properties. Only the surface of the Apollo asteroid Icarus does, in light of polarization and photometry data, appear to be consistent with an ordinary chondrite composition. This suggests the possibility that this material, although common in earth-crossing orbits, is rare as a surface constituent in the main asteroid belt.
