abstract:

    line_1:        Interstellar absorption line data obtained by the HRS for four selected nearby
    line_2:        A and B stars with large v sin (i) will be used to probe the physics of the
    line_3:        local interstellar medium. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding the
    line_4:        phsical conditions in the region within 25 pc, especially the local cloud. Data
    line_5:        will also be obtained for the possible protoplanetary system, beta Pic, to
    line_6:        search for molecular OH and place constraints upon te phsical condition in the
    line_7:        circumstellar nebula.

  question:        3
    section:       1
    line_1:        We wish to obtain high-dispersion HRS data at a minimum S/N ratio for spectral
    line_2:        regions corresponding to interstellar lines in the target stars. At this time
    line_3:        there is some question about the sensitivity of G140M shortward of 1300 A. we
    line_4:        may want to refine these observations as improved calibration data become
    line_5:        available.
    line_8:        This program should be done entirely in Cycle 1 with all exposures of Priority
    line_9:        2.

!

  question:        4
    section:       1
    line_1:        Calculations indicate, as well as observations, that at leat two lines of sight
    line_2:        would yield no detectable interstellar features at visual wavelengths with
    line_3:        current detectors and ground-based telescopes. Only by observing in the UV
    line_4:        does one have access to abundant, relatively undepleted atomic species.
    line_5:        Previous UV results have clearly shown the potential of the HRS in studying the
    line_6:        local ISM.

!

  question:        7
    section:       1
    line_1:        All data reduction and analysis is expected to be performed at NASA/GSFC.
    line_2:        Column densities will be deduced from the equivalent width data. absorption
    line_3:        profiles will be analyzed to extract radial velocities and other relevant
    line_4:        velocity information. Finally, constraints upon the physical conditions in the
    line_5:        local ISM will be derived.

!

  question:        10
    section:       1
    line_1:        All necessary software is available at NASA/GSFC for analysis of the data. F.
    line_2:        Bruhweiler and Y. Kondo will also participate in the analysis.

!

  question:        13
    section:       1
    line_1:        Interstellar absorption line data obtained by the HRS for four selected early A
    line_2:        and B stars will be used to probe the physics of the local interstellar
    line_3:        medium. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding the physical
    line_4:        conditions in the region within 25 pc, especially the local cloud. Data will
    line_5:        also be obtained for the possible protoplanetary system, beta Pic, to search
    line_6:        for molecules and place constraints upon the physical conditions in the
    line_7:        circumstellar nebula.
