Highly-Ionized Gas in the Galactic Halo: A FUSE Survey of O VI Absorption toward 22 Halo Stars
J. Zsargo, K. R. Sembach, J. C. Howk +1
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer spectra of 22 Galactic halo stars are studied to determine the amount of O VI in the Galactic halo between ~0.3 and \~10 kpc from the Galacti…
Ionized Gas in the First 10 kpc of the Interstellar Galactic Halo
J. Christopher Howk, Kenneth R. Sembach, Blair D. Savage
We present FUSE observations of the post-asymptotic giant branch star von Zeipel 1128 (l=42.5, b=+78.7; z=10.0 kpc), located in the globular cluster Messier 3. The FUSE observation…
A FUSE Survey of Molecular Hydrogen in Intermediate-Velocity Clouds in the Milky Way Halo
P. Richter, B. P. Wakker, B. D. Savage +1
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) data is used to investigate the molecular hydrogen (H_2) content of intermediate-velocity clouds (IVCs) in the lower halo of the Milky…
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…
FUSE Observations of Degree-Scale Variations in Galactic Halo O VI
J. Christopher Howk, Blair D. Savage, Kenneth R. Sembach +1
We report Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of interstellar O VI absorption in the halo of the Milky Way towards 12 early-type stars in the Large Magellani…
