Interstellar medium toward SN 1987A
Journal Article

· Astrophys. J.; (United States)
High-resolution spectra of SN 1987A obtained with the IUE satellite show absorption features from the disk and halo of the Galaxy and the LMC. A rich variety of elements and ionization states is found, including allowed resonance lines of abundant elements with ionization states ranging from C I and O I to Al III, Si IV, and C IV. The Si IV and C IV absorption at LMC velocities is unusually strong toward the supernova as compared to most other stars in the LMC and SMC. The origin of these lines is discussed. 18 references.
