چکیده

During the second flight of the ORFEUSSPAS mission in November/December 1996, the Echelle spectrometer was used extensively by the Principal and Guest Investigator teams as one of the two focal plane instruments of the ORFEUS telescope. The spectrum of HD93521 was obtained during this mission with a total integration time of 1740 s. This spectrum shows numerous sharp interstellar absorption lines. We identified 198 lines of molecular hydrogen including at least 7 lines with a high velocity component. Also most of the 67 identified interstellar metal lines are visible with a high velocity component. We present plots of the complete ORFEUS II Echelle spectrum together with tables of all identified interstellar absorption lines including all 14 detectable H I lines. In addition several identified stellar lines, partially with narrow absorption components, and stellar wind lines are given in a separate table.

ORFEUS II Echelle spectra : molecular hydrogen at high velocities toward HD 93521

Absorption lines of interstellar molecular hydrogen in the far ultraviolet (FUV) have been observed in the spectrum of the O9.5 halo star HD 93521, located some 1500 pc from the Galactic plane. During the second ORFEUS-SPAS mission a spectrum with the Echelle spectrometer has been recorded with a total integration time of 1740 s. The resolution achieved was about λ/∆λ ≥ 10.000 with a signal-to-...

Astronomy and Astrophysics Orfeus Ii Echelle Spectra: Deuterium and Molecular Hydrogen in the Ism towards Bd +39 3226

In ORFEUS II spectra of the sdO star BD +39 3226 interstellar hydrogen and deuterium is detected. From Ly α profile fitting and a curve of growth analysis of the Lyman series of H i and D i we derive the column densities NH = 1.20 −0.22·10 cm−2 and ND = 1.45 −0.38·10 cm−2. From the analysis of metal absorption lines in ORFEUS and IUE spectra we obtain column densities for 11 elements. In additi...

ORFEUS II echelle spectra : On the H 2 / CO ratio in LMC gas towards LH 10

ORFEUS far UV echelle spectra have been used to investigate H I, H2 and CO absorption lines along the line of sight towards LH 10:3120 in the LMC, extending the study presented by de Boer et al. (1998). While H2 absorption is clearly visible, no CO absorption at LMC velocities is detected, but an upper limit of N(CO) ≤ 3.3 × 10 cm for the CO column density is derived for the C-X band near 1088 ...

ORFEUS II echelle spectra: H2 measurements in the Magellanic Clouds

More than 20 years after the Copernicus satellite, ORFEUS allows the investigation of molecular hydrogen (H2) in the diffuse interstellar medium by way of FUV absorption spectroscopy once again. This time, targets in the Magellanic Clouds were also observed, allowing the first investigation of cold H2 in a metal-poor environment outside the Milky Way disk. This paper presents new H2 measurement...
