Photospheric Metals in the FUSE Spectrum of the Subdwarf B Star PG0749+658

R. G. Ohl, P. Chayer, H. W. Moos

We present an abundance analysis of the far-ultraviolet (905--1187 A) spectrum of the subdwarf B star PG0749+658, obtained by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). The…

No diffuse H2 in the metal deficient galaxy I Zw 18

A. Vidal-Madjar, D. Kunth, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +12

The metal deficient starburst galaxy IZw18 has been observed with FUSE in a search for H2 molecules. The spectrum obtained with an aperture covering the full galaxy shows no absorp…

FUSE Observations of the HD Molecule toward HD 73882

R. Ferlet, M. Andre, G. Hebrard +11

The Lyman and Werner band systems of deuterated molecular hydrogen (HD) occur in the far UV range below 1200 A. The high sensitivity of the FUSE mission can give access, at moderat…

FUSE Spectroscopy of High Velocity Cloud Complex C

E. M. Murphy, K. R. Sembach, B. K. Gibson +7

We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of the sightline toward the Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 876, which passes through high velocity cloud (HVC) com…

FUSE Observations of O VI Absorption in the Galactic Halo

B. D. Savage, K. R. Sembach, E. B. Jenkins +10

Far-ultraviolet spectra of 11 AGNs observed by FUSE are analyzed to obtain measures of O VI 1031.93 A absorption occurring over very long paths through Milky Way halo gas. Strong O…

FUSE Observations of Diffuse Interstellar Molecular Hydrogen

J. M. Shull, J. Tumlinson, E. B. Jenkins +11

We describe a moderate-resolution FUSE mini-survey of H2 in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, using four hot stars and four AGN as background sources. FUSE spectra of nearly eve…

FUSE Observations of O VI in High Velocity Clouds

K. R. Sembach, B. D. Savage, J. M. Shull +13

We have used moderate-resolution (FWHM ~ 25 km/sec) spectra of AGNs and QSOs observed by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) to make the first definitive measurements…

FUSE Observations of the Low-Redshift Lyman-beta Forest

J. M. Shull, M. L. Giroux, S. V. Penton +10

We describe a moderate-resolution (20-25 km/s) FUSE study of the low-redshift intergalactic medium. We report on studies of 7 extragalactic sightlines and 12 Ly-beta absorbers that…

The Local Interstellar Medium in Puppis-Vela

A. Cha, M. Sahu, H. W. Moos +1

The first study of the local interstellar medium (LISM) toward Puppis-Vela (l = 245\degr to 275\degr, b = -15\degr to +5\degr, d < 200 pc) is presented in this paper. A study of th…
