Extraplanar Dust: a Tracer of Cold Dense Gas in the Thick Disks of Spiral Galaxies
J. Christopher Howk
The interstellar thick disks of galaxies contain not only gas, but significant quantities of dust. Most of our knowledge of extraplanar dust in disk galaxies comes from direct broa…
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…
Deuterium abundance toward G191-B2B: Results from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) Mission
M. Lemoine, A. Vidal-Madjar, G. Hebrard +19
High-resolution spectra of the hot white dwarf G191-B2B, covering the wavelength region 905-1187A, were obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). This data w…
An Atlas of FUSE Sight Lines Toward the Magellanic Clouds
Charles W. Danforth, J. Christopher Howk, Alex W. Fullerton +2
We present an atlas of 57 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and 37 Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. T…
Interstellar O VI in the Large Magellanic Cloud
J. Christopher Howk
I summarize Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of interstellar O VI absorption towards 12 early-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), the closest…
