MUSCLES (for Measurements of the Ultraviolet Spectral Characteristics of Low-mass Exoplanet Host Stars) is a survey using HST to record ultraviolet (UV) spectra of some M dwarfs that host extra-solar planets. UV is of interest in studying the atmosphere of Jovian exoplanets, thus accurate records of these stellar UV spectra will be useful.
