Observations of Interstellar CO at MM and UV Wavelengths and Diverse Comments on Interstellar Diffuse Lines
McNally, D.
The directions of stars known to exhibit the molecule CN in their interstellar spectra were searched for CO at both millimeter and ultraviolet wavelengths in order to obtain more information about moderately dense interstellar material, which is of value in ascertaining the dynamics of star formation. Results show that where both CO and CN have be…
IUE spectra of RS PUP and HD 20722 : stars in symmetric dusty nebulae.
Johnson, H. M.
Spectra obtained by the IUE satellite of the Cepheid variable RS Puppis and the K giant HD 20722, both of which are surrounded by symmetric nebula, are presented. Exposures were made in 1980 with the long wavelength redundant camera and 10 x 20 arcmin focal plane aperture at a spatial resolution of about 5 arcsec and spectral resolution about 6 A.…
Absorption Spectra of Interstellar Grains - Part Two - Fine Structure of the 2200 Hump
Chlewicki, G.; Krelowski, J.
The ultraviolet TD-1 and IUE spectra of reddened stars were analyzed in order to check the possibility of some differences in the 2200 hump profile, dependent on the spectral type or luminosity of observed stars. The profiles seem to be clearly affected by stellar parameters supporting our earlier hypotesis that this prominent UV spectral feature …
Gamma-Ray Emission from the Orion Cloud Complex and the Ratio CO/H2
Catala, C.; Masnou, J. L.; Strong, A.
A new value for the density ratio of H2/(C-13)O is derived by making a comparison between the COS-B gamma-ray survey above 100 MeV and the CO survey of the Orion cloud complex. Results rely on the assumption that the gamma-ray emissivity above 100 MeV is uniform over the whole cloud complex and its surroundings, and has the local value derived by …
Two years of observation with the international ultraviolet explorer
Lamers, H. J. G. L. M.; de Jager, C.
The launching of I.U.E., in January 1978, has provided the astronomical community with a powerful observatory-type spacecraft enabling one a practically continuous observation of ultra-violet spectra of celestial bodies. Two years of operation have led to many new developments, in which a large number of astronomers participated. This review summa…
Ultraviolet emissions from the upper atmospheres of the planets
Moos, H. W.
A large number of atoms and molecules have strong emission lines in the vacuum ultraviolet. As a result, this spectral region is particularly suited to studying the upper atmospheres of the planets. The observed emissions not only identify the constituents, but also provide information on the solar and magnetospheric excitation processes. Long ter…
