Scientific paper

We will probe the chemical and physcial processes in diffuse interstellar clouds and look for evidence of molecule formation in gas heated by shocks or intense ultraviolet radiation. We will observe HD62542, a star in the Gum Nebula at seven carousel positions in the medium resolution modes. Optical studies indicate that one of the components of its interstellar spectrum is characterized by high density (approximately 10,000/cubic cm) and highest density per unit visual extinction of any star yet studied. We will also observe omicron Persei using the echelle, and combine the results with previous high quality results obtained by the "Copernicus" satellite.
