An Atlas of FUSE Sight Lines Toward the Magellanic Clouds
arXiv:astro-ph/0110515 · doi:10.1086/338239
Abstract
We present an atlas of 57 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and 37 Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. The atlas highlights twelve interstellar absorption line transitions at a resolution of ~15 km/s. These transitions cover a broad range of temperatures, ionization states, and abundances. The species included are OVI, which probes hot (T~3x10^5 K) ionized gas; CIII and FeIII, which probe warm (T~10^4 K) ionized gas; SiII, PII, CII, FeII, and OI, warm neutral gas; and six different molecular hydrogen transitions, which trace cold (T<=500 K) gas. We include Schmidt Halpha CCD images of the region surrounding each sight line showing the morphology of warm ionized gas in the vicinity, along with continuum images near each FUSE aperture position. Finally, we present several initial scientific results derived from this dataset on the interstellar medium of the Magellanic Clouds and Galactic halo.
