Scientific paper

We have obtained low resolution IUE short wavelength spectra at several positions within a ridge of molecular gas within the Gunn Nebula. Optical absorption line measurements toward HD 62542 indicate moderately high densities within the ridge. The physical appearance of the ridge, along with H-alpha and IRAS images of the nebula, suggest that winds and radiation from Gamma Vel and Zeta Pup are heating and compressing the ridge. The IUE spectra revealed faint C II and C III emission at one position, while C IV was weakly detected at another. The former are interpreted as arising in photoionized gas while the latter probably arises in a shocked wind striking the ridge. No detections were made at other positions in the ridge.
