cds-question@unistra.frline-intensitiesextinctioninterstellar-mediumultraviolet-astronomyThe Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has allowed precise determinations of the column densities of molecular hydrogen (H_2_) in Galactic lines of sight with a wide range of pathlengths and extinction properties. However, survey studies of lines of sight with greater extinction have been mostly restricted to the low-J states (lower total angular momentum) in which most molecular hydrogen is observed. This paper presents a survey of column densities for the molecular hydrogen in states of greater rotational excitation (J>=2) in Galactic lines of sight with log N(H_2_)>~20. This study is comprehensive through the highest excited state detectable in each line of sight. J=5 is observed in every line of sight, and we detect J=7 in four lines of sight, J=8 in one line of sight, and vibrationally excited H_2_ in two lines of sight.2010ApJ...711.1236Jhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/711/1236CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVI/129 : The FUSE Observation Log (FUSE, 1999-2007)J/ApJS/163/282 : Molecular hydrogen column densities (Wakker+, 2006)http://astro.uchicago.edu/~dwelty/coldens.html : Online catalogue of ISMhttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/711/1236https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/711/1236http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/711/1236https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/711/1236https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/711/1236http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/711/1236GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/711/1236/sample (Lines of sight: stellar and reddening data (tables 1 and 2 of the paper))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/711/1236/sample?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/711/1236/sample?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/711/1236/sample?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true58.846154731.0458350.0055555555555555566/1060 1196 14015 14643 14777 14805 15369 15406 15478 15631 15656 15745 21646 22249 22855 24513 29522 29876 30709 42408 42994https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/711/1236?format=asciiUVdefaultJ/ApJ/711/1236/sampleLines of sight: stellar and reddening data (tables 1 and 2 of the paper)recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
