The Joint astrophysical Plasmadynamic EXperiment (J-PEX): A high-resolution rocket spectrometer
M. A. Barstow, N. P. Bannister, R. G. Cruddace +10
We report on the successful sounding rocket flight of the high resolution (R=3000-4000) J-PEX EUV spectrometer. J-PEX is a novel normal incidence instrument, which combines the foc…
The WSO, a world-class observatory for the ultraviolet
M. A. Barstow, L. Binette, N. Brosch +17
The World Space Observatory is an unconventional space project proceeding via distributed studies. The present design, verified for feasibilty, consists of a 1.7-meter telescope op…
Metal abundances in PG1159 stars from Chandra and FUSE spectroscopy
K. Werner, J. L. Deetjen, S. Dreizler +3
We investigate FUSE spectra of three PG1159 stars and do not find any evidence for iron lines. From a comparison with NLTE models we conclude a deficiency of 1-1.5 dex. We speculat…
WSO/UV: World Space Observatory/Ultraviolet
M. Hernanz, R. Gonzalez-Riestra, W. Wamsteker +13
We summarize the capabilities of the World Space Observatory (UV) Project (WSO/UV). An example of the importance of this project (with a planned launch date of 2007/8) for the stud…
H1504+65 - The Naked Stellar C/O Core of a Former Red Giant Observed with FUSE and Chandra
K. Werner, T. Rauch, M. A. Barstow +1
H1504+65 is an extremely hot hydrogen-deficient white dwarf with an effective temperature close to 200,000 K. We present new FUV and soft X-ray spectra obtained with FUSE and Chand…
