We present far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectral images, measured at C IV 1550, He II 1640, Si IV+O IV] 1400, and O III] 1664, of the entire Cygnus Loop, observed with the Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation (SPEAR)…

The distribution of a low-density transition temperature (10^4.5 - 10^5.5 K) gas in the interstellar medium conveys the character and evolution of diffuse matter in the Galaxy. This difficult to observe component of the ISM emits mainly in…

We present the C III {\lambda}977, O VI {\lambda}{\lambda}1032, 1038 and N IV] {\lambda}1486 emission line maps of the Cygnus Loop, obtained with the newly processed data of Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation…

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 SPEAR/FIMS far-ultraviolet observations near the North Ecliptic Pole. This area, at b~30 degrees and with intermediate HI column, seems to be a fairly typical line of sight that is representative of general processes in the…

We used the FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) satellite to observe OVI emission along two sightlines towards the edge of the interaction zone (IZ) between the Loop I superbubble and the Local Bubble. One sightline was chosen…

We present far ultraviolet (FUV: 912 - 1750AA) spectral imaging observations recorded with the SPEAR satellite of the interstellar OVI (1032AA), CIV (1550AA), SiIV (1394AA), SiII* (1533AA) and AlII (1671AA) emission lines originating in a…

One of the keys to interpreting the character and evolution of interstellar matter in the galaxy is understanding the distribution of the low density hot (10^5 K -10^6 K) phase of the interstellar medium (ISM). This phase is much more…

Diffuse far-ultraviolet (FUV: 1370-1670 A) flux from the Taurus molecular cloud region has been observed with the SPEAR/FIMS imaging spectrograph. An FUV continuum map of the Taurus region, similar to the visual extinction maps, shows a…

We report the analysis results of far ultraviolet (FUV) observations, made for a broad region around $\alpha$ Vir (Spica) including the interaction zone of Loop I and the Local Bubble. The whole region was optically thin and a general…

Dust scattering is the main source of diffuse emission in the far-ultraviolet (FUV). For several locations in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite has observed diffuse radiation in the…

We present new HST-COS G130M spectroscopy for a sightline toward a filament projected 1.9 kpc from the nucleus of M87. The combination of the sensitivity of COS and the proximity of M87 allows us to study the structure of this filament in…
