TL;DR
EUV astronomy, crucial for understanding galactic objects, has evolved historically with current instruments and faces future opportunities despite interstellar medium limitations.
Contribution
This paper provides a comprehensive review of EUV astronomy's history, current capabilities, and future prospects on small satellite platforms.
Findings
EUV astronomy offers vital diagnostic tools for galactic objects.
Interstellar medium opacity limits extragalactic EUV observations.
Future missions aim to enhance EUV observational capabilities.
Abstract
The Extreme Ultraviolet wavelength range was one of the final windows to be opened up to astronomy. Nevertheless, it provides very important diagnostic tools for a range of astronomical objects, although the opacity of the interstellar medium restricts the majority of observations to sources in our own galaxy. This review gives a historical overview of EUV astronomy, describes current instrumental capabilities and examines the prospects for future facilities on small and medium-class satellite platforms.
