CHARACTERIZING THE CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM OF NEARBY GALAXIES WITH HST/COS AND HST/STIS ABSORPTION-LINE SPECTROSCOPY (2012, background): “The advent of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS; Green et al. 2012; Osterman et al. 2011) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has allowed much fainter background target QSOs to be observed.”
The frequency of planetary debris around young white dwarfs (2014, methodology): “All observations were obtained with the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph (COS, Green et al. 2012) using the G130M grating.”
THE MUSCLES TREASURY SURVEY. I. MOTIVATION AND OVERVIEW (2016, methodology): “Using the most sensitive UV photon-counting mode on HST (COS G130M) and the time-tag capability of the COS microchannel plate detector (Green et al. 2012), we measure the 104−5 K chromospheric and transition region activity indicators (using the C II, Si III, Si IV, and N V emission lines) in…”
THE COS-HALOS SURVEY: RATIONALE, DESIGN, AND A CENSUS OF CIRCUMGALACTIC NEUTRAL HYDROGEN (2013, methodology): “We planned for a uniform set of COS data obtained with both of the FUV medium resolution gratings, G130M and G160M (Dixon 2010; Green et al. 2012).”
THE COS-HALOS SURVEY: AN EMPIRICAL DESCRIPTION OF METAL-LINE ABSORPTION IN THE LOW-REDSHIFT CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM (2012, methodology): “…gas in L ≈ L∗, low-redshift galaxies, we have designed and executed a large program with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS; Froning & Green 2009; Green et al. 2012) on HST. Specifically, we targeted the halo gas of 38 galaxies drawn from the imaging data set of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey…”
THE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ENVIRONMENT AROUND M DWARF EXOPLANET HOST STARS (2012, background): “COS has a factor of > 10×more effective area than the medium resolution modes of STIS in the FUV, and its low detector background and grating scatter make it factors of ∼ 50× more efficient for the study of faint farUV chromospheric and transition region emission fromM dwarfs (Green et al. 2012).”
THE COS-HALOS SURVEY: PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND BARYONIC MASS IN THE LOW-REDSHIFT CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM (2014, methodology): “Specifically, we have designed and executed a large program with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS; Froning & Green 2009, Green et al. 2012) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that observed halo gas of 44 galaxies, drawn from the imaging dataset of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), whose…”
HIGH-DENSITY CIRCUMSTELLAR INTERACTION IN THE LUMINOUS TYPE IIn SN 2010jl: THE FIRST 1100 DAYS (2013, background): “A description of the COS instrument and on-orbit performance characteristics can be found in Osterman et al. (2011) and Green et al. (2012).”
THE BIMODAL METALLICITY DISTRIBUTION OF THE COOL CIRCUMGALACTIC MEDIUM AT z ≲ 1 (2013, neutral): “Data Reduction and Presentation The 17 new absorbers were all observed with COS. Information on the design and performance of COS can be found in Green et al. (2012).”
