Extreme Ultraviolet Absorption Lines in LyA Forest Absorbers and the Oxygen Abundance in the Intergalactic Medium
R. C. Telfer, G. A. Kriss, W. Zheng +2
We create stacked composite absorption spectra from Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph data from four quasi-stellar objects to search for absorption lines in the extr…
Faint High Latitude Carbon Stars Discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Methods and Initial Results
Bruce Margon, Scott F. Anderson, Hugh C. Harris +5
We report the discovery of 39 Faint High Latitude Carbon Stars (FHLCs) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey commissioning data. The objects, each selected photometrically and verified spe…
The Rest-Frame Extreme Ultraviolet Spectral Properties of QSOs
R. C. Telfer, W. Zheng, G. A. Kriss +1
We use a sample of 332 Hubble Space Telescope spectra of 184 QSOs with z > 0.33 to study the typical ultraviolet spectral properties of QSOs, with emphasis on the ionizing continuu…
Resolving the Structure of Ionized Helium in the Intergalactic Medium with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer
G. A. Kriss, J. M. Shull, W. Oegerle +16
The neutral hydrogen and the ionized helium absorption in the spectra of quasars are unique probes of structure in the early universe. We present Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Expl…
FUSE Observations of Cooling Flow Gas in the Galaxy Clusters A1795 and A2597
W. R. Oegerle, L. Cowie, A. Davidsen +5
We present far-ultraviolet spectroscopy of the cores of the massive cooling flow clusters Abell 1795 and 2597 obtained with FUSE. As the intracluster gas cools through 3x10^5 K, it…
Overview of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Mission
H. W. Moos
The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite observes light in the far-ultraviolet spectral region, 905 - 1187 A with high spectral resolution. The instrument consists of f…
