Argon and Silicon abundances in the damped Ly α system I Zw 18
We show that the difference between the Ar and Si relative abundance ratio derived from FUSE absorption spectra and from the H ii regions of I Zw 18 is a consequence of the microturbulent analysis applied to the absorption spectra. FUSE observations were performed with a large entrance aperture which fully covered the galaxy. This means that the observed profiles are averaged over the full body...
متن کاملAndersson FUSE ’ s Five Years of Progress on the Interstellar Medium
I review the five years of progress by FUSE on current topics in the interstellar medium. FUSE's sensitivity and unique access to the far ultraviolet allow investigators to solve problems in all phases of the interstellar medium. I describe FUSE's contributions in four major areas: 1) the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM), 2) the hot phase (O VI), 3) the cold phase (H 2), and 4) interstellar gas...
متن کاملOn the Variation of Deuterium and Oxygen Abundances in the Local Interstellar Medium
The first observations of deuterium and oxygen in the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) can be used to search for local abundance variations. While the very limited sample of these first data may be consistent with no variations, they do offer a hint of anti-correlated variations between D/H and O/H. If confirmed by more data (which...
متن کاملKinematic Evidence for Superbubbles in I Zw 18: Constraints on the Star Formation History and Chemical Evolution
We have combined measurements of the kinematics, morphology, and oxygen abundance of the ionized gas in I Zw 18, one of the most metal-poor galaxies known, to examine the star formation history and chemical mixing processes. Deep Hα imagery shows diffuse emission and a partial shell extending well beyond the main two knots of continuum emission. We have explored the kinematics of this ionized g...
متن کاملProbing The Multiphase Interstellar Medium Of The Dwarf Starburst Galaxy NGC 625 With FUSE Spectroscopy
We present new FUSE spectroscopy of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC625. These observations probe multiple phases of the interstellar medium, including the coronal, ionized, neutral and molecular gas. This nearby (D = 3.9± 0.2 Mpc) system shows a clear detection of outflowing coronal gas as traced by O VI λ 1032 Å absorption. The centroid of the O VI profile is blueshifted with respect to the gal...
