Scientific paper

We are currently conducting a Cycle 5 Legacy program designed to fill critical gaps in the FUSE coverage of hot DA white dwarf stars. In particular this program will systematically sample stars in the temperature region above 50,000 K as well as cover the widest possible range of surface gravities. The specific scientific objective of this program is to resolve the recently discovered discrepancy between Lyman line and Balmer line temperature determinations that is evident for DA white dwarfs above 50,000 K. This program is now underway, with three of our 24 targets having been observed.
