Abstract:
Analysis of ultraviolet (UV) observations with the FAUST shuttle-borne
telescope toward the Antennae and NGC 6752 celestial regions resulted
in the detection of 46 and 221 candidate sources respectively, for a
signal-to-noise ratio of 8. We discuss the source detection process
and the identification of UV sources with optical counterparts. Using
correlations with existing catalogues, we present reliable
identifications for approximately 60 per cent of the sources. We find
that most identified objects are B, A and F stars. The remaining
identified objects are galaxies, a white dwarf in a binary system, and
two K-type stars. Nearly all of the remaining unidentified objects
have assigned optical counterparts but, lacking additional
information, we give these only as best estimates. With help from new
diagnostic diagrams, we suggest that these unclassified objects are
main-sequence (or giant) stars within the local spiral arm or halo; or
other hot evolved objects within the local spiral arm. We discuss the
nature of the objects found and compare our results with those
predicted from spectral and Galactic models.

Note (1):
The instrumental errors were evaluated for each source from the photon
statistics of the source and source background. The systematic errors
(resulting from the intrinsic errors of the IUE photometric scale and
a systematic error in flux resulting from the laboratory calibration
of FAUST) were estimated by Bowyer et al. (1993ApJ...415..875B 1993ApJ...415..875B) to be
15.8 per cent of the measured flux, corresponding to an additional
error of 0.17mag to the monochromatic magnitude used here. The total
photometric error was calculated by combining in quadrature the
instrumental and systematic errors.
Note (2):
The positional uncertainty is 3' for sources in the FAUST FSC, see
Bowyer et al. (1995, Cat. J/ApJS/96/461)
