AB Dor in '94: I. HST/GHRS Observations of the Quiescent Chromosphere of an Active Star
J. C. Brandt, S. R. Heap, F. M. Walter +15
We analyze HST/GHRS spectra of AB Doradus, the prototypical ultra-rapidly rotating K dwarf. We observed chromospheric (Mg II) and transition region (C II, Si IV, C IV, and N V) lin…
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…
FUSE Observations of O VI Absorption in the Galactic Halo
B. D. Savage, K. R. Sembach, E. B. Jenkins +10
Far-ultraviolet spectra of 11 AGNs observed by FUSE are analyzed to obtain measures of O VI 1031.93 A absorption occurring over very long paths through Milky Way halo gas. Strong O…
FUSE Observations of Diffuse Interstellar Molecular Hydrogen
J. M. Shull, J. Tumlinson, E. B. Jenkins +11
We describe a moderate-resolution FUSE mini-survey of H2 in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, using four hot stars and four AGN as background sources. FUSE spectra of nearly eve…
FUSE Observations of O VI in High Velocity Clouds
K. R. Sembach, B. D. Savage, J. M. Shull +13
We have used moderate-resolution (FWHM ~ 25 km/sec) spectra of AGNs and QSOs observed by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) to make the first definitive measurements…
FUSE Observations of the Low-Redshift Lyman-beta Forest
J. M. Shull, M. L. Giroux, S. V. Penton +10
We describe a moderate-resolution (20-25 km/s) FUSE study of the low-redshift intergalactic medium. We report on studies of 7 extragalactic sightlines and 12 Ly-beta absorbers that…
