Paper Abstract
Heritage wide-field ultraviolet imagers have observed large (~30°) fields-of-view, but suffer from relatively poor (~0.6°) spatial resolution. Improvements in mirror design and fabrication technology allow for a new two-mirror design that preserves a large (40°x20°) field-of-view, while improving spatial resolution by nearly a factor of ten to 0.07° while imaging onto a flat focal surface. Such an imager has uses in a number of ultraviolet astronomical applications, including plasmaspheric imaging and monitoring of the interplanetary medium.
