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…
Early-type galaxies in the SDSS
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. Annis +28
A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01<z<0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample…
Extreme BAL Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Patrick B. Hall, J. E. Gunn, G. R. Knapp +16
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a population of broad absorption line quasars with various extreme properties. Many show absorption from metastable states of FeII with…
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…
