Exploring Hot Gas in the Galactic Halo and High Velocity Clouds
Kenneth R. Sembach, Bart P. Wakker, Blair D. Savage +1
In the five years since its launch, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer has given the astronomical community a marvelous glimpse into the realm of previously unexplored regi…
High-velocity OVI in and near the Milky Way
Bart P. Wakker, Blair. D. Savage, Kenneth R. Sembach +2
The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has observed over three hundred fifty sightlines to extragalactic targets. About one hundred fifty of these are of sufficient qual…
HI and OVI high-velocity clouds and the Local Group
B. P. Wakker
I examine some of the evidence relevant to the idea that high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are gas clouds distributed throughout the Local Group, as proposed by Blitz et al. (1999) and B…
Probing Baryons in Galactic Halos and Gas Near Galaxies
K. R. Sembach, B. P. Wakker, B. D. Savage +2
We describe an extensive FUSE survey of highly ionized oxygen in the vicinity of the Milky Way that serves as an example of the type of study that would be desirable for other gala…
High-velocity clouds: a diverse phenomenon
B. P. Wakker
In this contribution the current state of knowledge about the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) is summarized. Recent progress has shown that the HVCs are a diverse phenomenon. The inter…
FUSE Spectroscopy of High Velocity Cloud Complex C
E. M. Murphy, K. R. Sembach, B. K. Gibson +7
We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of the sightline toward the Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 876, which passes through high velocity cloud (HVC) com…
