ABSTRACT
A sample of 20 star-forming galaxies will be observed with COS G130M. The galaxies were selected from the Kitt Peak International Spectroscopic
Survey (KISSR) data release and cover a broad range of luminosity, oxygen abundance, and reddening. The goal of the program is to characterize the
Lyman-alpha properties and establish correlations with fundamental galaxy properties. Each galaxy will be observed for one orbit.
OBSERVING DESCRIPTION
A sample of HII galaxies will be observed with COS. The goal is to measure the strength of Lyman alpha. The galaxies were taken from the KISS
catalog and have sufficiently high redshift to avoid contamination by geocoronal Lyman alpha. The targets will be acquired with a standard NUV
image acquisition. The spectra will be taken with the G130M grating centered on 1309 A. One orbit per target will be used.
