Several Science targets have been observed so far, including the demostrative observations carried out during the Performance verification phase. The first science paper from the UVIT presented the discovery of a possible post-AGB companion to a Blue Straggler star in the open cluster NGC 188. Several studies are starting to produce interesting results on topics ranging from Globular Clusters, Galaxy Clusters, Planetary Nebulae and AGN. I plan to present some of the science results which highlight the resolution, spectral sampling and timing capability of the UVIT. |
