Global Far-Ultraviolet (912-1800 Å) Properties of Star-forming Galaxies
Heckman, Timothy M.; Calzetti, Daniela; Leitherer, Claus +1 more
We present the results of an archival study of the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) Astro-2 database. Nineteen spectra of star-forming regions and starburst galaxies were retrieved, reprocessed, and analyzed. The spectra cover the wavelength region 912-1800 Å, providing access to the domain of peak luminosity from a young stellar population. We…
Abundances of Deuterium, Nitrogen, and Oxygen in the Local Interstellar Medium: Overview of First Results from the FUSE Mission
Kruk, J. W.; Savage, B. D.; Shull, J. M. +33 more
Observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) have been used to determine the column densities of D I, N I, and O I along seven sight lines that probe the local interstellar medium (LISM) at distances from 37 to 179 pc. Five of the sight lines are within the Local Bubble, and two penetrate the surrounding H I wall. R…
Deuterium and Oxygen toward Feige 110: Results from the FUSE Mission
Sembach, K. R.; Sonneborn, G.; Moos, H. W. +11 more
We present measurements of the column densities of interstellar D I and O I made with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and of H I made with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) toward the sdOB star Feige 110 [(l,b)=(74.09d,-59.07d) d=179+265-67 pc; z=-154+57-227 pc]. Our determin…
Deuterium Abundance toward WD 0621-376: Results from the FUSE Mission
Sembach, K. R.; Moos, H. W.; Chayer, P. +5 more
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations are presented for WD 0621-376, a DA white dwarf star in the local interstellar medium (LISM) at a distance of about 78 pc. The data have a signal-to-noise ratio of ~20-40 per 20 km s-1 resolution element and cover the wavelength range 905-1187 Å. LISM absorption is detected in the line…
A New Database of Observed Spectral Energy Distributions of Nearby Starburst Galaxies from the Ultraviolet to the Far-Infrared
Gordon, Karl D.; Calzetti, Daniela; Clayton, Geoffrey C. +3 more
We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. The galaxies are selected based upon the availability of IUE data. We have recalibrated the IUE UV spectra for these galaxies by incorporating the most recent improvements. For 45 of these galaxies we use observations by Storchi-Bergmann et al. and McQuade et al. for the spec…
