ACCESS: Enabling an Improved Flux Scale for Astrophysics
Mary Elizabeth Kaiser, Jeffrey W. Kruk, Stephan R. McCandliss +20
Improvements in the precision of the astrophysical flux scale are needed to answer fundamental scientific questions ranging from cosmology to stellar physics. The unexpected discov…
Recent FUSE Observations of Diffuse O VI Emission from the Interstellar Medium
W. Van Dyke Dixon, Ravi Sankrit
We present new results from our survey of diffuse O VI-emitting gas in the interstellar medium with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Background observations obtai…
FUSE Detection of Galactic OVI Emission in the Halo above the Perseus Arm
Birgit Otte, W. Van Dyke Dixon, Ravi Sankrit
Background observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) toward l=95.4, b=36.1 show OVI 1032,1038 in emission. This sight line probes a region of str…
Final Calibration of the Berkeley Extreme and Far-Ultraviolet Spectrometer on the ORFEUS-SPAS I and II Missions
W. V. Dixon, J. Dupuis, M. Hurwitz
The Berkeley Extreme and Far-Ultraviolet Spectrometer (BEFS) flew as part of the ORFEUS telescope on the ORFEUS-SPAS I and II space-shuttle missions in 1993 and 1996, respectively.…
Far-Ultraviolet Performance of the Berkeley Spectrograph During the ORFEUS-SPAS II Mission
Mark Hurwitz, Stuart Bowyer, Robert Bristol +6
The Berkeley spectrograph aboard the ORFEUS telescope made its second flight on the 14-day ORFEUS-SPAS II mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia in November/December 1996. Approxima…
ORFEUS-II Far-Ultraviolet Observations of 3C273: 1. Interstellar and Intergalactic Absorption Lines
Mark Hurwitz, Immo Appenzeller, Juergen Barnstedt +7
We present the first intermediate-resolution (lambda / 3000) spectrum of the bright quasi-stellar object 3C273 at wavelengths between 900 and 1200 A. Observations were performed wi…
