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…

Previous HST and FUSE observations have revealed highly ionized high-velocity clouds (HVCs) or more generally low HI column HVCs along extragalactic sightlines over 70-90% of the sky. The distances of these HVCs have remained largely…

We have obtained high resolution FUSE and HST/STIS echelle observations of the quasar PG 1116+215. The semi-continuous coverage of the ultraviolet spectrum over the wavelength range 916-2800 provides detections of Galactic and high velocity…

We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and Hubble Space Telescope observations of high, intermediate, and low ion absorption in high-velocity cloud Complex C along the lines of sight toward five active galaxies. Our purpose is to…

Our view of the high velocity cloud (HVC) system is changing dramatically with new observations from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer mission and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. In…

In the spectra of 139 early-type Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) stars observed with FUSE and with deep radio Parkes HI 21-cm observations along those stars, we search for and analyze the absorption and emission from high-velocity gas at…

To explore the origin of high-velocity gas in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) we analyze absorption lines in the ultraviolet spectrum of a Galactic halo star that is located in front of the LMC at d=9.2 kpc distance. We…

We have recently identified several high velocity (V < -100 km/s) clouds in the directions of Mrk 509 and PKS 2155-304 that have unusual ionization properties. The clouds exhibit strong C IV absorption with little or no detectable low ion…

We present a new measurement, 0.85-3.5 Z_solar, of the metallicity of high velocity cloud (HVC) Complex M by analyzing ultraviolet spectroscopic observations of the blazar Mrk 421 taken with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble…

We report ultraviolet spectra of Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in Complex C, taken by the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), together with new 21-cm spectra from the Green Bank Telescope. The wide…

We use spectroscopic data from HST and FUSE to study the wide range of ionization states of the "highly ionized high-velocity clouds". Studied extensively in OVI absorption, these clouds are usually assumed to be infalling gas in the…

We present recent results on highly ionized gas in Galactic High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs), originally surveyed in OVI (Sembach et al. 2003). In a new FUSE/HST survey of SiII/III/IV (Shull et al. 2009) toward 37 AGN, we detected SiIII (lambda…

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 observations cover the wavelength range 905-1187 Ang at ~20 km/s (FWHM)…

We suggest that the high--velocity clouds (HVCs) are large clouds, with typical diameters of 25 kpc and containing 5e7 solar masses of neutral gas and 3e8 solar masses of dark matter, falling onto the Local Group; altogether the HVCs…

We detect high-velocity absorbing gas using Hubble Space Telescope and Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer medium resolution spectroscopy along two high-latitude AGN sight lines (Mrk 1383 and PKS 2005-489) above and below the Galactic…

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…

High-velocity clouds (HVCs), which are gas clouds moving at high velocity relative to the galactic disk, may play a critical role in galaxy evolution, potentially supplying gas to the disk and triggering star formation. In this study, we…

The high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in the outer Milky Way at $20^{\circ} < l < 190^{\circ}$ have similar spatial locations, metallicities, and kinematics. Moreover, their locations and kinematics are coincident with several extraplanar stellar…

We present Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST/STIS) and Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of high ion interstellar absorption along the sight line to HD 116852. At a distance of 4.8 kpc, HD 116852 is…

We present HST GHRS and STIS observations of five QSOs that probe the prominent high-velocity cloud (HVC) Complex C, covering 10% of the northern sky. Based upon a single sightline measurement (Mrk 290), a metallicity [S/H]=-1.05+/-0.12 has…
