Notes: Drs. Damian Christian and Nahide Craig of the Center for EUV Astrophysics in Berkeley report 100 new EUV sources as part of the first results of their analysis of EUVE photometric data taken with the all-sky survey telescopes. This data is accumulated serendipitously and at right angles to the pointing of the Deep Survey/Spectrometer instruments and is known as the Right Angle Program (RAP). The long exposure times possible with RAP observations provide much greater sensitivity than the all-sky survey. Thus allowing detection of fainter sources, which will provide a more complete distribution of EUV emitting sources.
