Deuterium abundances
M. Lemoine, J. Audouze, L. Ben Jaffel +10
We discuss the measurements of deuterium abundances in high redshift quasar absorbers, in the solar system and in the interstellar medium. We present new results that indicate spat…
The Frontier Fields: Survey Design
J. M. Lotz, A. Koekemoer, D. Coe +39
The Frontier Fields are a director's discretionary time campaign with HST and the Spitzer Space Telescope to see deeper into the universe than ever before. The Frontier Fields comb…
Chandra Detection of X-ray Absorption from Local Warm/Hot Gas
T. Fang, C. Canizares, K. Sembach +3
Recently, with the Chandra X-ray Telescope we have detected several local X-ray absorption lines along lines-of-sight towards distant quasars. These absorption lines are produced b…
FUSE Observations of Cooling Flow Gas in the Galaxy Clusters A1795 and A2597
W. R. Oegerle, L. Cowie, A. Davidsen +5
We present far-ultraviolet spectroscopy of the cores of the massive cooling flow clusters Abell 1795 and 2597 obtained with FUSE. As the intracluster gas cools through 3x10^5 K, it…
Feedback in the local LBG Analog Haro 11 as probed by far-UV and X-ray observations
J. P. Grimes, T. Heckman, D. Strickland +6
We have re-analyzed FUSE data and obtained new Chandra observations of Haro 11, a local (D_L=88 Mpc) UV luminous galaxy. Haro 11 has a similar far-UV luminosity (10^10.3 L_\odot),…
On-Orbit Performance of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) Satellite
D. J. Sahnow, H. W. Moos, T. Ake +38
Launch of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has been followed by an extensive period of calibration and characterization as part of the preparation for normal satel…
Deuterium abundance toward G191-B2B: Results from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) Mission
M. Lemoine, A. Vidal-Madjar, G. Hebrard +19
High-resolution spectra of the hot white dwarf G191-B2B, covering the wavelength region 905-1187A, were obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). This data w…
QSO Absorbing Galaxies at z<~1: Deep Imaging and Spectroscopy in the Field of 3C 336
C. Steidel, M. Dickinson, D. Meyer +2
We present very deep WFPC2 images and FOS spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) together with numerous supporting ground-based observations of the field of the quasar…
Far-Ultraviolet Observations of Starburst Galaxies with FUSE: Galactic Feedback in the Local Universe
J. P. Grimes, T. M. Heckman, A. Aloisi +6
We have analysed FUSE far-UV spectra of a sample of 16 local starbursts. These galaxies span ranges of almost three orders-of-magnitude in star formation rate and over two orders-o…
