The performance of the ultraviolet telescope (UVIT) on-board ASTROSAT is reported. The performance in orbit is also compared with estimates made from the calibrations done on the ground. The sensitivity is found to be within ~15% of the estimates, and the spatial resolution in the NUV is found to exceed significantly the design value of 1.8 arcsec and it is marginally better in the FUV. Images obtained from UVIT are presented to illustrate the details revealed by the high spatial resolution. The potential of multi-band observations in the ultraviolet with high spatial resolution is illustrated by some results.

  1. First detection of ultra-fast outflows in a quiescent galaxy

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    First detection of an ultra-fast outflow (v≈0.07c) in a quiescent galaxy quenched ~9 Gyr ago, suggesting AGN winds can maintain quiescence independent of global star formation.

  2. Relativistic Scattering in the Funnel of Cygnus X-3

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A relativistic funnel scattering model with variable bulk velocity reproduces the ~23% hard-state and ~12% soft-state polarization in Cygnus X-3 at low inclination using half-opening angles of 13-16 degrees.

  3. Spatial Correlations of PAH, UV, H$\alpha$ Emission and IMF - PAH Variations in the Star-Forming Complexes of NGC 628

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    In NGC 628 SFCs, PAH luminosities track UV/Hα, and PAH band ratios increase toward top-heavy, bluer complexes, with flatter spur trends and shell-vs-shear IMF differences near the phantom void.

  4. Spectral-Regime Overlap and Transition-like Behavior in the Blazar Population from Multi-Instrument X-ray and TeV Observations

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-instrument observations reveal broad overlap in X-ray photon indices across blazar subclasses with intra-source spectral evolution supporting transition-like behavior.
