Interstellar Carbon Abundance

Gnacinski, Piotr

We present 10 new measurements of carbon gas phase column density in the interstellar medium. We have used spectra made with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope containing the CII 1334.5 Ang and CII* 1335.7 Ang lines. The continuum reconstruction method has been used to obtain the carbon column density from t…
