Scientific paper

We present initial results of the performance of the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) spectrograph as measured during alignment and characterization of the instrument. The measured performance including resolution, efficiency, and scattered light is discussed along with the various instrumental effects contributing to the final performance characteristics. Finally, we present the laboratory spectra of N2, CO, O2, H2, Ar, and Pt/Ne at 30,000 resolution between 900 Angstroms and 1150 Angstroms as obtained with the spectrograph. These data are extremely interesting in and of themselves and demonstrate how powerful an astronomical instrument the FUSE instrument will be once in orbit.
