Abstract:
We present an atlas of stellar sight line data from the Far
Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite for 287 stars in
the Magellanic Clouds, obtained from eight years of satellite
operations. The intent of our project is to make this rich ensemble
data set accessible to a broad community of researchers in a
standardized format that will enable easy identification of subsets of
these data that are appropriate for pursuing specific science
programs. We present the data in a standardized manner, showing key
interstellar lines on a velocity scale, optical (MCELS) and infrared
(Spitzer) sight line context images, and overview plots of the
spectral region containing the OVI λλ1032, 1038 doublet,
and the entire 905-1187Å spectral range observed with FUSE. Objects
with multiple observations have had their data summed to directly
provide the highest signal-to-noise ratio available. These data are
accessible online as a High Level Science Product through the
Multimission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST). In this article, we
describe the data sets and processing, the atlas materials, and the
MAST interface in detail, and also provide examples of how to use
these materials.

Note (1): FUSE ID indicates the FUSE program and target identifier used in
the online atlas. Column headed NumDS indicates those objects for
which multiple data sets have been combined. In these cases, the FUSE
ID shows the dominant or longest individual observation. Total
exposure time summed is in the ExpTime column. In the online atlas,
the NumDS column links to a listing showing the individual data sets
that were combined.
Note (2): The aperture characteristics are defined in the text.
