Scientific paper

The authors present a spectral atlas of the interstellar spectrum toward SN 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The data used in constructing the atlas were obtained with the IUE satellite and were collected within the first few days following discovery of SN 1987A. Twelve high-resolution spectra were taken, evenly divided between the short- and long-wavelength cameras. The atlas extends from 1250 to 3200 Å. It includes almost 200 lines from 12 interstellar species, covering a wide range of ionization, namely: C I, II, IV; O I; Mg I, II; Al II, III; Si II, IV; S II; Cl I; Cr II; Mn II; Fe II; Ni II; and Zn II. Optical spectroscopy at very high resolution has shown the extraordinarily large number of interstellar components in this direction. The authors interpret their results in the context of existing optical and ultraviolet studies of interstellar gas toward the LMC.
