Scientific Overviews

Science Team Observing Program for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) Satellite , S. Friedman, W. Moos, K. Sembach, G. Kriss, E. Murphy, W. Oegerle, and the FUSE Science, Instrument, and Operations Teams. Presented at the June 1997 AAS meeting in Winston-Salem, NC.

The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer: Mission Overview and Prospects for Studies of the Interstellar Medium and High Velocity Clouds [in postscript form, 5.4 Mb], Kenneth R. Sembach (full reference: Sembach, K.R. 1999, in the Stromlo Workshop on High Velocity Clouds, ASP Conf. Series 166, eds. B.K. Gibson & M.E. Putman, San Francisco: ASP), p. 243). Contains several useful tables of lines and wavelengths expected in the FUSE range and figures of simulated spectra, in addition to an overview of the FUSE PI team Science mission.
