Highly Ionized Envelopes of High Velocity Clouds

Erin E. Zekis, J. Michael Shull

We present recent results on highly ionized gas in Galactic High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs), originally surveyed in OVI (Sembach et al. 2003). In a new FUSE/HST survey of SiII/III/IV (…

Metallicity measurements in AGNs

Smita Mathur, Dale Fields

Measuring metallicity in the nuclear regions of AGNs is difficult because only a few lines are observed and ionization correction becomes a major problem. Nitrogen to carbon ratio…

The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Future of Ultraviolet Astronomy

J. Michael Shull

I describe the capabilities of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, scheduled for May 2009 installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. With a factor-of-ten increase in far-UV throughpu…

The Magellanic System: What have we learnt from FUSE?

N. Lehner

I review some of the findings on the Magellanic System produced by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) during and after its eight years of service. The Magellanic Sys…

Modeling H2 Fluorescence in Planetary Atmospheres with Partial Frequency Redistribution

R. E. Lupu, P. D. Feldman, S. R. McCandliss +1

We present the modeling of partial frequency redistribution (PRD) effects for the fluorescent emission lines of molecular hydrogen, the general computational approximations, and th…

Essential observations of the Lyman continuum

Stephan R. McCandliss

Concurrent observations of Lyman continuum (LyC) and Lyman-alpha (Lya) emission escaping from star-forming systems at low redshift are essential to understanding the physics of rei…

Intergalactic Baryons in the Local Universe

Charles W. Danforth

Simulations predict that shocks from large-scale structure formation and galactic winds have reduced the fraction of baryons in the warm, photoionized phase (the Lya forest) from n…

FUSE Observations of an X-Ray Bright Region in the Vela Supernova Remnant

Ravi Sankrit, R. L. Shelton, W. P. Blair +2

We present the results of a FUSE observation of an X-ray selected knot in the Vela supernova remnant. Spectra were obtained through the 30"x30" low resolution aperture and the 4"x2…
