FUSE spectroscopy of sdOB primary of the post common-envelope binary LB 3459 (AA Dor) (2008)
Fleig, Johannes, Rauch, Thomas, Werner, Klaus, Kruk, Jeffrey W.
LB 3459 (AA Dor) is an eclipsing, close, post common-envelope binary consisting of an sdOB primary star and an unseen secondary with an extraordinarly low mass - formally a brown dwarf. A recent NLTE...
McCandliss, Stephan R., Kruk, Jeffrey W., Blair, William P., Kaiser, Mary Elizabeth, Feldman, Paul D., Meurer, Gerhardt R., ...
We explore the design of a space mission, Project Lyman, which has the goal of quantifying the ionization history of the universe from the present epoch to a redshift of z ~ 3. Observations from WMAP...
Rauch, Thomas, Werner, Klaus, Ziegler, Marc, Koesterke, Lars, Kruk, Jeffrey W.
Spectral analysis by means of Non-LTE model-atmosphere techniques has arrived at a high level of sophistication: fully line-blanketed model atmospheres which consider opacities of all elements from H...
Gerard A. Kriss, Arthur F. Davidsen, Wei Zheng, Jeffrey W. Kruk, Brian R. Espey, Up To \theta
We observed NGC 4151 on six separate occasions at intervals of one to three days using the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope during the flight of Astro-2 aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in March 1995....
FUV Spectroscopy of the sdOB Primary of the Eclipsing Binary System AA Dor (2007)
Fleig, Johannes, Rauch, Thomas, Werner, Klaus, Kruk, Jeffrey W.
AA Dor is an eclipsing, close, post common-envelope binary (PCEB). We present a detailed spectral analysis of its sdOB primary star based on observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet...
Evidence for deuterium astration in the planetary nebula Sh2-216? (2007)
Oliveira, Cristina M, Chayer, Pierre, Moos, H. Warren, Kruk, Jeffrey W., Rauch, Thomas
We present FUSE observations of the line of sight to WD0439+466 (LS V +46 21), the central star of the old planetary nebula Sh2-216. The FUSE data shows absorption by many interstellar and stellar...
What is the Total Deuterium Abundance in the Local Galactic Disk? (2007)
Linsky, Jeffrey L., Draine, Bruce T., Moos, H. W., Jenkins, Edward B., Wood, Brian E., Oliveira, Cristina, ...
Analyses of spectra obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite, together with spectra from the Copernicus and IMAPS instruments, reveal an unexplained very wide range...

Variations in D/H and D/O from New FUSE Observations (2006)
Oliveira, C. M., Moos, H. Warren, Chayer, Pierre, Kruk, Jeffrey W.
We use data obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) to determine the interstellar abundances of DI, NI, OI, FeII, and H2 along the sigh tlines to WD1034+001, BD+393226, and...
Monster redshift surveys through dispersive slitless imaging: the Baryon Oscillation Probe (2005)
Glazebrook, Karl, Baldry, Ivan K., Moos, H. Warren, Kruk, Jeffrey W., McCandliss, Stephan Robert
Wide-field imaging from space should not forget the dispersive dimension. We consider the capability of space-based imaging with a slitless grism: because of the low near-infrared background in space...

FORTIS: Pathfinder to the Lyman Continuum (2004)
McCandliss, Stephan R., France, Kevin, Feldman, Paul D., Glazebrook, Karl, Meurer, Gerhardt, Bianchi, Luciana, ...
Shull et al. (1999) have asserted that the contribution of stars, relative to quasars, to the metagalactic background radiation that ionizes most of the baryons in the universe remains almost...
