Interstellar absorption lines toward Cep OB4
An analysis of optical echelle spectra towards nine stars in the Cep OB4 association is presented. Interstellar absorption lines which arise in the (1, 0) and (2, 0) bands of the CN A 2Π – X 2Σ+ red system towards BD+66◦ 1661, BD+66◦ 1674, and BD+66◦ 1675 are used to infer accurate CN column densities N(CN). A comparison with earlier measurements in the CN violet system allows to infer a CN Dop...
متن کاملA Procedure for Correcting the Apparent Optical Depths of Moderately Saturated Interstellar Absorption Lines
Presently, most observations of absorption lines from interstellar and intergalactic matter have sufficient resolution to show most of the structure at differing radial velocities of the absorber. This added information allows one to go beyond the practice of just obtaining equivalent widths. As with measurements of Wλ, however, it is important to sense and correct for the fact that some parts ...
متن کاملHI 21 cm - line observations with the GMRT towards interstellar clouds previously seen in optical absorption
We have made HI 21cm-line absorption measurements using the GMRT towards 15 directions in the Galaxy which are known to have high random velocity clouds as seen in the optical absorption lines of CaII and NaI. For the first time, in 6 out of these 15 directions we detect HI absorption features corresponding to the high random velocity optical absorption lines. The mean optical depth of these de...
متن کاملInterstellar C2 absorption lines towards CH+ forming regions
Interstellar C2 absorption line observations towards the southern OB associations NGC 2439, Vela OB1, and Cen OB1 are used to infer gaskinetic temperatures Tkin and densities nc towards lines of sight with previously determined large CH and CH+ column densities. Towards NGC 2439, the material is characterised by temperatures of Tkin = 75–85 K and densities exceeding nc > 1000 cm−3, and a fracti...
متن کاملECHELLE SPECTROSCOPY OF INTERSTELLAR ABSORPTION TOWARD k COLUMBAE WITH THE GODDARD HIGH RESOLUTION SPECTROGRAPH
Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph echelle-mode observations of the interstellar absorption lines of Mg II, Si IV, C IV, and N V toward k Columbae (HD 38666) are presented. The observations have a spectral resolution of 3.5 km s~1 and signal-to-noise ratios (S/Ns) of 20È200. The k Col sight line (l\ d \ 0.40 kpc, z\ [0.18 kpc) extends though the Local Bubble and the warm 237¡.3, b \ [27¡.1, n...
