Results of the initial calibration of the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) were reported earlier by Tandon et al. (2017). The results reported earlier were based on the ground calibration as well as the first observations in orbit. Some additional data from the ground calibration and data from more in-orbit observations have been used to improve the results. In particular, extensive new data from in-orbit observations have been used to obtain (a) new photometric calibration which includes (i) zero-points (ii) flat fields (iii) saturation, (b) sensitivity variations (c) spectral calibration for the near Ultra Violet (NUV; 2000 - 3000 Angstroms) and far Ultra-Violet (FUV; 1300 - 1800 Angstroms) gratings, (d) point spread function and (e) astrometric calibration which included distortion. Data acquired over the last three years show continued good performance of UVIT with no reduction in sensitivity in both the UV channels.

  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. Structural and dynamical properties of Tidal dwarf galaxies in the tails and bridge of the Guitar galaxy Arp 105

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    AstroSat FUV plus archival multi-wavelength data show Arp 105's tidal dwarfs have young in-situ starbursts over old stripped stellar populations and dynamical-to-baryonic mass ratios near 1-2, implying little dark matter.

  3. Deep far-UV observations of the ELAIS N1 field using AstroSat: Source catalogue, spectral energy distribution modelling and star formation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    UVIT FUV catalogues of ELAIS N1 plus CIGALE SED fits show SFR increasing with redshift and a flat young-to-total stellar mass ratio to z≲0.76, consistent with secular SFMS evolution.

  4. Deep far-UV observations of the ELAIS N1 field using AstroSat: Source catalogue, spectral energy distribution modelling and star formation

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 3.0

    Deep AstroSat/UVIT far-UV observations of ELAIS N1 confirm that star-forming galaxies exhibit steady, secularly evolving star formation across 0 < z < 0.76.
