Scientific paper

Interstellar column densities of Fe, S, Si, Mn, and Mg in their dominant ionization state, as well as of C(+) and S(2+), are presently derived from analyses of HST UV observations of the Galactic halo star HD 93521. Ratios of column densities for the dominant species yield approximations of the logarithmic depletion D(X) in the warm, primarily neutral H gas which produces each of the resolved components. Variations of D between components are highly correlated between elements; about two Fe atoms leave the grains for every Si atom, as if these atoms were primarily bound in the Fe2SiO4 molecules within the grain cores.
