摘要
High resolution (δλ ~ 0-3 Å) ultraviolet spectra of γ2Vel and ζ Pup, obtained from a star-stabilized Skylark rocket flight, have been used to study the interstellar gas in the direction of the Gum nebula. The observations confirm the existence of a large H II region in the line of sight and also give evidence for the existence of small localized regions of high gas density (~ 104cm-3). All of the elements observed in the interstellar gas are underabundant relative to hydrogen. © 1974 Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
