| Back to Interesting Follow-up Targets By: Sarah True & Ben |
This list contains a set of interesting targets for UV follow up with HST/COS, identified from the HST/FOS and FUSE snapshot programs as well as programs present in the MAST archive. This search covers over 90 % of the AGNs observed in the UV domain in the archive. We performed a careful examination of the available spectra of each source and list the objects in which interesting features may be detected with a higher S/N, higher resolution spectrograph. Rolling over the target name will show an explanation of what made the object exciting to our group.
NOTE: GALEX flux data in cgs units of 10^-15 ergs/s/cm2/A.

| Q1704+6048 in FOS: wide CIV + NV; CVZ; => in COS range maybe: SIV, NIII + SIV* and NIII* = 2MASS J17044138+6044305. PROPOSED IN HST CYCLE 19 FOR COS OBSERVATION | 3C351.0=1704+608 | 17 04 41.30 | +60 44 30.00 | 0.371 | 11.721 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | A | |
| Q1309+3531 in FOS: very weak SiIV, no CIV, but flux high enough. =2MASS J13121775+3515210. PROPOSED FOR HST CYCLE 19 FOR COS OBSERVATION | PG1309+355 | 13 12 17.70 | +35 15 21.00 | 0.184 | 13.9596 | 7.59155 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | B- |
| Q0350-0719 wide troughs but less than 1000km/s. In FOS range: CIV, NV, SiIV. =2MASS J03523055-0711022. PROPOSED FOR HST CYCLE 19 FOR COS OBSERVATION | 0350-0719 | 03 52 30.56 | -07 11 02.00 | 0.962 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | B+ | ||
| Q2251+1120 CII is there, NIII too + maybe NIII*. =87GB 225140.5+112042. PROPOSED IN HST CYCLE 19 FOR COS OBSERVATION. | PG2251+113 | 22 54 10.43 | +11 36 38.62 | 0.325 | 8.17780 | 4.51615 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | B+ |
| Q1004+130 In FUSE range: SVI, NeVIII, OIV etc in the spectrum, with COS we will see: SVI too, NIII and NIII*. The object is bright (Flux 10e-15 ergs/s/cm2/A). 2MASS J10072609+1248562. PROPOSED IN HST CYCLE 19 FOR COS OBSERVATION. | PG1004+130 | 10 07 26.09 | +12 48 56.21 | 0.241 | Jerry's FUSE sample | A | ||
| HS1102+34 Maybe some NeVIII, OIV and OIV* probably no NIII. VV2000-J110539.8+342535. PROPOSED FOR HST CYCLE 19 FOR COS OBSERVATION. NOTE: FUSE too noisy => exploratory obs for COS (=1 orbit) | 11 05 39.82 | +34 25 34.67 | 0.51 | 7.11046 | 4.90828 | Jerry's FUSE sample | A | |
| Q0935+4141 Low flux, OIII at low velocity, strong NeVIII | PG0935+416 | 09 38 57.00 | +41 28 21.30 | 1.94 | 0.98125 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | C | |
| Q0916+5118 not an outflow: CII but no CII* | 09 19 57.60 | +51 06 09.62 | 0.553 | 5.7319 | 4.15804 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | C | |
| Q0454-2203 we have SiII and CII but no CII* => looks intervening | 04 56 08.93 | -21 59 09.54 | 0.534 | 11.5268 | 9.40966 | Bechtold et al. 2002 | C+ | |
| HS0624+6907 Good target to keep in mind for the future. 2 big NeVIII systems near -1200 and -1600 km/s. No trace of OIV. OIII tough to identify. | 06 30 02.50 | +69 05 04 | 0.37 | 24.1793 | 13.4369 | Jerry's FUSE sample | ||
| 3C232 In Jerry FUSE: strong NIV (?), + NeVIII. In Stocke too:OVI, NeVIII BUT the NIV disappeared... => not a really good target to look at in future. | 09 58 20.90 | +32 24 02 | 0.53 | 5.76501 | 5.0858 | Jerry's FUSE sample | ||
| HE1115-1735 SVI, NeVIII etc... COS can give us NIII*, the problem is that CIII is probably not in the spectrum, and NIII seems to be there but it is hard to tell. | 11 18 10.60 | -17 51 59 | 0.22 | 17.8141 | 9.03786 | Jerry's FUSE sample | ||
| 3C48 we would see OIII in COS. But priority B because we can't see much => ask Jerry for his ID to see if he's got a good match, in the end there is not much to see. Priority C. | 01 37 41.30 | +33 09 35 | 0.37 | 3.22833 | 2.39636 | Jerry's FUSE sample | C | |
| PG1543+489 Not really easy to see anything in the FUSE spectrum. The OIV trough at 1102A observed frame (=0 velocity in the rest frame) is only obvious in OIV. | 15 45 30.20 | +48 46 09 | 0.4 | 8.78127 | 4.77907 | Jerry's FUSE sample | C |
