Scientific paper

The analysis of Skylab measurements on ultraviolet limb spectra confirm the presence of a generalized Compton effect in the solar spectrum which can be explained by Thomson scattering theory. The present measurements on the Orion spectrum and interstellar line towards Gamma Arae give a large generalized Compton effect which could be explained by a resonance scattering theory. These numerical results cannot be due to random errors in the measurements, as follows from the statistical discussion. The need for further measurements is pointed out.
