High-resolution observations of interstellar Ca I absorption. Implications for depletions and electron densities in diffuse clouds. (2003)

Keywords : ISM abundances - ISM: atoms - ISM: kinematics and dynamics - line: profiles

Abstract:We present high-resolution (FWHM~0.3-1.5km/s) spectra, obtained with the AAT UHRF, the McDonald Observatory 2.7m coude spectrograph, and/or the KPNO coude feed, of interstellar Ca I absorption toward 30 Galactic stars. Comparisons of the column densities of Ca I, Ca II, K I, and other species - for individual components identified in the line profiles and also when integrated over entire lines of sight - yield information on relative electron densities and depletions (dependent on assumptions regarding the ionization equilibrium). ...(more)
