Scientific paper

The physical conditions in the 'high-velocity cloud' in the direction of HD 175754 are discussed, based on the high-dispersion International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) measurements. It was found that the abundances are very close to solar. Although the oxygen (and presumably also the hydrogen) is mostly neutral, the ionization is higher than expected from a neutral cloud. Consequences for the ionization and heating of the interstellar medium in general are discussed.
