Abundances of Deuterium, Oxygen, and Nitrogen in the Local Interstellar Medium: Overview of First Results from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Mission

H. W. Moos, K. R. Sembach, A. Vidal-Madjar +33

Observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) have been used to determine the column densities of D I, O I, and N I along seven sight lines that prob…

Empirical Verification of the Fe II Oscillator Strengths in the FUSE Bandpass

J. Christopher Howk, Kenneth R. Sembach, Katherine C. Roth +1

We report empirical determinations of atomic oscillator strengths, or f-values, for 11 ground-state transitions of Fe II in the wavelength range 1050 to 1150 Ang. We use ultraviole…

No diffuse H2 in the metal deficient galaxy I Zw 18

A. Vidal-Madjar, D. Kunth, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +12

The metal deficient starburst galaxy IZw18 has been observed with FUSE in a search for H2 molecules. The spectrum obtained with an aperture covering the full galaxy shows no absorp…

FUSE Observations of Interstellar Gas Towards the LMC Star Sk -67 05

S. D. Friedman, J. C. Howk, B-G Andersson +9

We report on measurements of interstellar O VI, H2, P II, Si II, Ar I, and Fe II absorption along the line of sight to Sk -67 05, a B0 Ia star in a diffuse H II region in the weste…

The Ionization of the Local Interstellar Medium, as Revealed by FUSE Observations of N, O and Ar toward White Dwarf Stars

E. B. Jenkins, W. R. Oegerle, C. Gry +10

FUSE spectra of the white dwarf stars G191-B2B, GD 394, WD 2211-495 and WD 2331-475 cover the absorption features out of the ground electronic states of N I, N II, N III, O I and A…
