FUSE

I am currently providing calibration and science support for the Far Ultraviolet Explorer (FUSE) project. This work is part of the Goddard project support for the mission. As part of this project, I was a lead or co-author on 5 Early Release Observation (ERO) papers and 5 additional papers. These were
