Deuterium Abundance toward Wd2211−495 : Results from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (fuse) Mission
We present a deuterium abundance analysis of the line of sight toward the white dwarf WD2211−495 observed with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). Numerous interstellar lines are detected on the continuum of the stellar spectrum. A thorough analysis was performed through the simultaneous fit of interstellar absorption lines detected in the four FUSE channels of multiple observati...
متن کاملDeuterium toward the White Dwarf Wd0621−376: Results from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (fuse) Mission
Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer observations are presented for WD0621−376, a DA white dwarf star in the local interstellar medium (LISM) at a distance of about 78 pc. The data have a signal-tonoise ratio of ∼20–40 per 20 km s resolution element and cover the wavelength range 905–1187 Å. LISM absorption is detected in the lines of D I, C II, C II*, C III, N I, N II, N III, O I, Ar I, and ...
متن کاملDeuterium Abundance in the Local Ism Andpossible Spatial
Excellent HST/GHRS spectra of interstellar hydrogen and deuterium Lyman-absorption toward nearby stars allow us to identify systematic errors that have plagued earlier work and to measure accurate values of the D/H ratio in local interstellar gas. Analysis of 12 sightlines through the Local Interstellar Cloud leads to a mean value of D/H = (1:50 0:10) 10 ?5 with all data points lying within 1 o...
متن کاملFuse Determination of a Low Deuterium Abundance along an Extended Sight Line in the Galactic Disk
We present a study of the deuterium abundance along the extended sight line toward HD90087 with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). HD 90087 is a O9.5III star located in the Galactic disk at a distance of ∼ 2.7 kpc away from the Sun. Both in terms of distance and column densities, HD 90087 has the longest and densest sight line observed in the Galactic disk for which a deuterium ...

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) is a NASA astronomy mission that will explore the 905–1187Å wavelength region at high spectral resolution. Funded by NASA’s Explorer Program, this Origins mission is scheduled for a 1999 launch and at least three years of operations. The development of FUSE is being led by the Johns Hopkins University, with major contributions to the program fro...
