A compilation of interstellar column densities
TL;DR: In this paper, the absorption line data toward 3008 stars was collated in order to create a unified database of interstellar column densities, and the preliminary results from their analysis show a tight relation [N(H)/E(B - V) = 6.12 Multiplication-Sign 10{sup 21}] between N(H) and E(B-V).
Journal ArticleDOI
Science with a Wide-field UV Transient Explorer
Ilan Sagiv,Avishay Gal-Yam,Eran O. Ofek,Eli Waxman,Oded Aharonson,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Ehud Nakar,D. Maoz,Benny Trakhtenbrot,E. S. Phinney,J. Topaz,C. A. Beichman,Jayant Murthy,Simon P. Worden +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential scientific impact of a wide-field UV survey on the study of explosive and other transient events, as well as known classes of variable objects, such as active galactic nuclei and variable stars, is reviewed.

Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the role of carbon in ultraviolet extinction along galactic sight lines
TL;DR: This paper reported previously undetermined interstellar gas and dust-phase carbon abundances along 15 Galactic sight lines based on archival data of the strong 1334.5323 A transition observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lyman-Alpha Absorption and the D/H Ratio in the Local Interstellar Medium*
Andrew R. Dring,Jeffrey L. Linsky,Jayant Murthy,Richard C. Henry,W. Moos,Alfred Vidal-Madjar,J. Audouze,W. B. Landsman +7 more
TL;DR: Using the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope, this article observed Lyα absorption against stellar chromospheres along six lines of sight, with additional observations of the Mg II H and K lines along five of the lines of view and Fe II absorption along four of the line of sight.
