The instrumentation on board will allow to carry out high resolution imaging, high sensitivity imaging, high resolution (R~55000) spectroscopy and low resolution (R~2500) long slit spectroscopy. In this contribution, we briefly outline some of the key science issues that WSO-UV will address during its lifetime. Among them, of special interest are: the study of galaxy formation and the intergalactic medium; the astronomical engines; the Milky Way formation and evol ution, and the formation of the Solar System and the atmospheres of extrasolar p lanets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-11-03T15:10:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high resolution", "long slit spectroscopy", "milky way formation", "world space observatory-ultraviolet", "intergalactic medium" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "publication": { "journal": "Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings", "year": 2009, "month": "Mar", "volume": 7, "pages": 319 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 801404, "adsabs": "2009ASSP....7..319G" } } }
