    Ultraviolet absorption by highly ionized atoms in the Orion Nebula (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The International Ultraviolet Explorer was used to obtain high-resolution, far-UV spectra of theta 1 A, theta 1 C, theta 1 D, and theta 2 A Orionis. The interstellar absorption lines in these spectra are discussed with an emphasis on the high-ionization lines of C IV and Si IV. Theta 2 A Ori has interstellar C IV and Si IV absorption of moderate strength at the velocity found for normal H II region ions. Theta 1 C Ori has very strong interstellar C IV and Si IV absorption at velocities blueshifted by about 25 km/s from that found for the normal H II region ions. The possible origin of the high-ionization lines by three processes is considered: X-ray ionization, collisional ionization, and UV photoionization. It is concluded that the C IV and Si IV ions toward theta 2 A and theta 1 C Ori are likely produced by UV photoionization of surrounding nebular gas. In the case of theta 1 C Ori, the velocity shift of the high-ionization lines may be produced through the acceleration of high-density globules in the core of the nebula by the stellar wind of theta 1 C Ori.

    Ultraviolet interstellar extinction toward stars in the Orion Nebula and toward HD 147889 (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) was used to obtain low resolution absolute ultraviolet energy distributions for the four Trapezium stars Theta(1) Orionis A, B, C, and D, Theta(2) Orionis A and B, HD 147889, and several unreddened standard stars. The observations for Theta(1) Orionis B reveal a peculiar extended object. The measurements for the rest of the stars were used to derive UV extinction curves. The derived curves are very different from the average galactic curve. The curves for the Orion stars all exhibit smaller than normal middle and far-UV extinctions. Although a 2175 A feature is present, its strength, when normalized to E(B-V), is smaller than in the average galactic curve. In contrast, the curve for HD 147889 has a pronounced 2175 A feature followed by smaller than normal extinction for an inverse wavelength between 5 and 7 per micron.

    Ultraviolet interstellar absorption toward stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. IV - Highly ionized gas associated with the Small Magellanic Cloud (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: High-dispersion International Ultraviolet Explorer satellite spectra of seven stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) are examined to study the properties of interstellar C IV and Si IV absorption in the SMC. Absorption by C IV or Si IV or both is found near 160 km/s for all the stars. The velocity and the relative C IV and Si IV strengths suggest UV-photoionized nebular gas as the origin of this absorption. In addition, the stars show absorption by C IV and, sometimes, Si IV in the velocity range 100-130 km/s. This velocity is 30-60 km/s more negative than that expected for normal nebular gas, and the relative C IV and Si IV strengths indicate an ionization source other than stellar UV photoionization by normal Population I stars. Possible global origins are considered for this absorption, including a hot phase of the SMC interstellar medium and a circum-SMC distribution of highly ionized gas. The only detection of interstellar N V toward a SMC star is for HD 5980. The line is broad, possibly complex, and spans the velocity range of the nebular absorption and the 100-130 km/s absorption.

    The depletion of interstellar gaseous iron (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The Copernicus UV telescope was used to measure equivalent widths of interstellar Fe II resonance lines toward 55 early-type stars; the measurements permit the determination of Fe II column densities. The depletion of interstellar gaseous iron was obtained by combining these measurements with the results from a previous atomic and molecular hydrogen survey program; the derived depletions refer mostly to matter in H I regions. As an example, the nearly normal gaseous iron abundance in the distant high-latitude intermediate-velocity cloud toward HD 93521 is consistent with the idea that these clouds are produced by galactic supernova explosions.

    Observational evidence for a hot gaseous Galactic corona (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Galactic absorption features observed in high-dispersion far-UV spectra of two Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) stars obtained with the IUE satellite are discussed. The stars observed were HD 38268 (OB + WN5) and HD 38282 (WN6), which lie at a distance of about 55 kpc and in the galactic direction corresponding to a latitude of about -32 deg and a longitude of about 280 deg. The line of sight to these stars passes through the disk and halo of the Milky Way and the halo and disk of the LMC. Evidence is presented for the existence of a hot (somewhat below 1 million K), low-density (about 0.001 H atom per cu cm) Galactic corona.

    A survey of interstellar HI from L alpha absorption measurements 2 (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The Copernicus satellite surveyed the spectral region near L alpha to obtain column densities of interstellar HI toward 100 stars. The distance to 10 stars exceeds 2 kpc and 34 stars lie beyond 1 kpc. Stars with color excess E(B-V) up to 0.5 mag are observed. The value of the mean ratio of total neutral hydrogen to color excess was found to equal 5.8 x 10 to the 21st power atoms per (sq cm x mag). For stars with accurate E(B-V), the deviations from this mean are generally less than a factor of 1.5. A notable exception is the dark cloud star, rho Oph. A reduction in visual reddening efficiency for the grains that are larger than normal in the rho Oph dark cloud probably explains this result. The conversion of atomic hydrogen into molecular form in dense clouds was observed in the gas to E(B-V) correlation plots. The best estimate for the mean total gas density for clouds and the intercloud medium, as a whole, in the solar neighborhood and in the plane of the galaxy is 1.15 atoms per cu. cm; those for the atomic gas and molecular gas alone are 0.86 atoms per cu cm and 0.143 molecules per cu cm respectively. For the intercloud medium, where molecular hydrogen is a negligible fraction of the total gas, atomic gas density was found to equal 0.16 atoms per cu cm with a Gaussian scale height perpendicular to the plane of about 350 pc, as derived from high latitude stars.

    Ultraviolet photometry from the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory. XX - The ultraviolet extinction bump (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Ultraviolet extinction bumps are investigated in the interstellar extinction curves between 1800 and 3600 A for 36 stars which have (B-V) excesses ranging from 0.03 to 0.55 and are mostly confined to the brighter OB associations distributed along the galactic plane. Each extinction curve is found to have a broad bump which peaks near 2175 A and whose position and profile appear to be constant among all the stars. It is shown that the bump is probably interstellar in origin and that the constancy of its position and shape places such severe restrictions on grain geometrical parameters that classical scattering theory cannot be used to explain the feature unless the dust grains in widely separated regions of space and with very different physical conditions are assumed to have nearly identical size and shape distributions. Three extinction curves which extend to 1100 A are examined and found to have the same general characteristics as the others. Several extinction curves are analyzed for fine structure, but no convincing evidence is found in the present interval. Some processes are discussed which may be responsible for the bumps.

    Evidence for hot gaseous coronae around the Magellanic Clouds (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: High-dispersion IUE far-UV spectra were obtained for five stars in the LMC and two stars in the SMC. At Magellanic Cloud velocities, all the spectra exhibit very strong interstellar lines of Al III, Si IV, and C IV, in addition to the usual lower ionization stage lines associated with H I region absorption. In two stars interstellar N V is also detected at the 50 mA level. From a consideration of the strength, width, and radial velocity of these high ionization stage lines, it is argued that regions of hot halo gas have probably been detected in front of the Magellanic Clouds. The regions detected exhibit absorption characteristics very similar to that of the Milky Way corona described previously by Savage and de Boer (1979). A cloud detected in the line of sight to HD 5980 in the SMC at a radial velocity of 300 km/s is of unknown origin.

    Ultraviolet, visual, and infrared observations of the peculiar Be star HD 45677 (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The peculiar Be star HD 45677 was observed at low and high resolution by the IUE, and nearly simultaneous optical and IR observations were obtained with ground-based telescopes. These data were used to produce a spectral energy distribution extending from 0.12 to 12.6 microns in order to investigate the conversion of UV to IR radiation in the circumstellar dust shell. The high-resolution spectra indicate a spectral type of B2 in agreement with the optical classification.

    Ultraviolet absorption by interstellar gas near 30 Doradus (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The IUE was used to obtain high-resolution far-UV spectra (1150-2070 A) of two stars in the 30 Dor H II region in the LMC. Interstellar absorption components are distinguished at +20, +220, +250, and +290 km/s. The +20 km/s component is produced by matter in the Galaxy; the high-velocity components are produced by absorbing gas near or in the LMC. A model of the line-of-sight distribution of the absorbing clouds is developed from the velocity pattern of the observed LMC features. The presence of Si IV, Al III, and C IV ions is discussed.
