O~ VI absorption in the Milky Way along the Large Magellanic Cloud lines of sight
Abstract
We have used Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to determine the O VI column densities in the Milky Way (MW) towards 6 LMC lines of sight. The mean column density of O VI in the MW is found to be log N(O VI)=14.257-0.084+0.096. The results confirm the patchiness of O VI absorption in the MW and the column densities are higher or comparable to the LMC.
