Description

To probe the distribution and physical characteristics of interstellar gas at temperatures T~3x10^5^K in the disk of the Milky Way, we have used the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) to observe absorption lines of OVI{lambda}1032 toward 148 early-type stars situated at distances >1kpc. After subtracting off a mild excess of OVI arising from the Local Bubble, combining our new results with earlier surveys of OVI, and eliminating stars that show conspicuous localized X-ray emission, we find an average OVI midplane density n_0_=1.3x10^-8^cm^-3^. The density decreases away from the plane of the Galaxy in a way that is consistent with an exponential scale height of 3.2kpc at negative latitudes or 4.6kpc at positive latitudes.
