Project Lyman
Stephan R. McCandliss, Jeffrey W. Kruk, William P. Blair +20
We explore the design of a space mission, Project Lyman, which has the goal of quantifying the ionization history of the universe from the present epoch to a redshift of z ~ 3. Obs…
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),…
CalFUSE v3: A Data-Reduction Pipeline for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer
W. V. Dixon, D. J. Sahnow, P. E. Barrett +13
Since its launch in 1999, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has made over 4600 observations of some 2500 individual targets. The data are reduced by the Principal I…
An Extended FUSE Survey of Diffuse O VI Emission in the Interstellar Medium
W. Van Dyke Dixon, Ravi Sankrit, Birgit Otte
We present a survey of diffuse O VI emission in the interstellar medium obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Spanning 5.5 years of FUSE observations, fr…
FUSE Observations of Galactic and Intrinsic Absorption in the Spectrum of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy 2MASX J21362313-6224008
Massimiliano Bonamente, W. Van Dyke Dixon
We present the far-ultraviolet spectrum of the Seyfert 1 galaxy 2MASX J21362313-6224008 obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). The spectrum features absor…
A Study of the Reionization History of Intergalactic Helium with FUSE and VLT
W. Zheng, G. A. Kriss, J. -M. Deharveng +8
We obtained high-resolution VLT and FUSE spectra of the quasar HE2347-4342 to study the properties of the intergalactic medium between redshifts z=2.0-2.9. The high-quality optical…
FUSE Observations of the Post-AGB Star ZNG 1 in the Globular Cluster M5 (NGC 5904)
W. V. Dixon, T. M. Brown, W. B. Landsman
We have observed the hot post-AGB star ZNG 1 in the globular cluster M5 with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). From the resulting spectrum, we derive an effective…
A New Measurement of the Average FUV Extinction Curve
T. P. Sasseen, M. Hurwitz, W. V. Dixon +1
We have measured the extinction curve in the far-ultraviolet wavelength region of (900 -- 1200 A) using spectra obtained with the Berkeley EUV/FUV spectrometer during the ORFEUS-I…
Observations of O VI Emission from the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
R. L. Shelton, J. W. Kruk, E. M. Murphy +22
We report the first Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) measurements of diffuse O VI (lambda,lambda 1032,1038) emission from the general diffuse interstellar medium outsi…
FUSE Detection of Diffuse Galactic O VI Emission toward the Coma and Virgo Clusters
W. V. Dixon, S. Sallmen, M. Hurwitz +1
We report the detection of diffuse O VI 1032, 1038 A emission in a 29-ksec observation centered on the Coma Cluster (l = 57.6, b = +88.0) and an 11-ksec observation toward Virgo (l…
FUSE Limits on FUV Emission from Warm Gas in Clusters of Galaxies
W. V. Dixon, S. Sallmen, M. Hurwitz +1
We have obtained FUV spectra of two clusters of galaxies with FUSE, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer. The Coma cluster was observed for a total of 28.6 ksec, the Virgo cl…
Galmatheia: A Galactic Plasma Explorer
J. Edelstein, W. V. Dixon, E. Korpela
Galmatheia is a broad bandpass (900-1800 Angstrom), far-ultraviolet (FUV) nebular spectrograph (lambda /delta lambda ~ 650) for the study of the evolution of galactic plasma with a…
