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 of absorption by hot gas in high velocity clouds (HVCs) at…

We have obtained moderate resolution spectra of the bright QSO H1821+643 (z=0.297) in the wavelength interval 990-1185A with FUSE. Strong, complex OVI 1032 and FeII 1145 absorption arising in gas above several spiral arms and the outer warp…

We present FUSE observations of the interstellar gas toward 30 white dwarf and 1 subdwarf (SdO) stars. These sightlines probe the Local Bubble (LB) and the local interstellar medium (LISM) near the LB. Our survey detected only diffuse H_2…

We present a survey of NV and OVI (and where available CIV) in the Galactic halo, using data from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) along 34 sightlines. These ions are usually produced in…

We report the detection of highly-ionized gas at z~0 seen in resonant UV and X-ray absorption lines toward the z=0.03 blazar Mkn 421. A total of 13 X-ray and 3 UV lines were measured (or upper limits derived), including three lines in the…

We report the detection of diffuse O VI 1032, 1038 A emission in a 29-ksec observation centered on the Coma Cluster (l = 57.6, b = +88.0) and an 11-ksec observation toward Virgo (l = 284.2, b = +74.5) through the low-resolution (30"x30")…

We present far ultraviolet spectra of a fast (~ 300 km/s) nonradiative shock in the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. Our observations were performed with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite, covering the wavelength…

We present a study of the deuterium abundance along the extended sight line (2.7kpc) toward HD 90087 with FUSE. Both in terms of distance and column densities, HD 90087 has the longest and densest sight line observed in the Galactic disk…

The Local Bubble (LB) is an X-ray emitting region extending 100 pc in radius in the Galactic plane and 300 pc perpendicular to it, and it is embedded in a somewhat larger H{\sc i} deficient cavity. Its origin and spectral properties in UV,…

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has surveyed a large sample (> 100) of active galactic nuclei in the low-redshift universe (z < 1). Its response at short wavelengths makes it possible to measure directly the far…

We present measurements of the column densities of interstellar DI and OI made with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), and of HI made with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) toward the sdOB star Feige 110 [(l,b) =…

Diffuse far-UV emission arising from the edge of the Orion-Eridanus superbubble was observed with the SPEAR imaging spectrometer, revealing numerous emission lines arising from both atomic species and H2. Spatial variations in line…

We present far-ultraviolet spectroscopy of the cores of the massive cooling flow clusters Abell 1795 and 2597 obtained with FUSE. As the intracluster gas cools through 3x10^5 K, it should emit strongly in the OVI 1032,1038 resonance lines.…

We present HST/STIS and FUSE spectra of the QSO PG 1211+143 (z_em = 0.081) and a galaxy survey of the surrounding field. This sightline shows two strong intergalactic absorption systems at cz ~ 15,300 and 19,300. This sightline addresses…

During the Astro-1 and Astro-2 Space Shuttle missions in 1990 and 1995, far ultraviolet (FUV) images of five 40' diameter fields around the rim of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant were observed with the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT).…

We present far-ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 509 obtained in 1999 November with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Our data span the observed wavelength range 915-1185 A at a resolution of ~20 km/s. The…

We carry out high-resolution FUSE spectroscopy of the nuclear region of NGC 1068. The first set of spectra was obtained with a 30" square aperture that collects all emission from the narrow-line region. The data reveal a strong broad OVI…

We report the results of a search for O VI absorption in the spectra of 80 hot DA white dwarfs observed by the FUSE satellite. We have carried out a detailed analysis of the radial velocities of interstellar and (where present) stellar…

Far-ultraviolet spectra of LMC X-3 were taken covering photometric phases 0.47 to 0.74 in the 1.7-day orbital period of the black-hole binary (phase zero being superior conjunction of the X-ray source). The continuum is faint and flat, but…
