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…

A FUSE Survey of Interstellar Molecular Hydrogen in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds

Jason Tumlinson, J. Michael Shull, Brian L. Rachford +10

We describe a moderate-resolution FUSE survey of H2 along 70 sight lines to the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, using hot stars as background sources. FUSE spectra of 67% of obs…
