Monitoring the Variable Absorption in the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 3783 with FUSE, HST, and Chandra ObservationsThe analysis of FUSE observations funded by this grant aims to understand the nature and origin of the absorbing gas in NGC 3783. We have used the simultaneous FUSE, HST, and Chandra data to determine the radial location, density, and ionization state of the absorbing gas and measure its evolution in ionization, column density, velocity, and coverage of the active nucleus. As part of this program, Dr. Gerard Kriss supplied advice and assistance in planning and scheduling the FUSE observations of NGC 3783 coordinated with the HST/STIS observations, and co-authored the publications listed in the bibliography and summarized below.
