Scientific paper

A spectrum of the nucleus of NGC 1068 will be obtained with GHRS in the R=20000 mode in the wavelength region 1468 - 1500 A, to search for the CO (2,0) fourth positive band absorptions. The Seyfert galaxy has been selected for observation because it is known to have strong molecular emission in the nuclear regions. In conjunction with existing mm-line observations of CO, our proposed HST data will be used to study the physical properties of the molecular gas lying in the direct line of sight to the galactic nucleus and to attempt a measure of the rotational temperature of CO in the circumnuclear molecular clouds which are associated with star formation. Observation of Mg II will also be carried out for calibration purposes. Keywords - SEYFERT GALAXY, AGN, CO ABSORPTION
