Savage et al. (1977) found that the radio source PKS 1448-232 coincided with a stellar object of about magnitude 16.4 having an ultraviolet excess. A low resolution spectrum obtained with the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) confirmed this object as a QSO with zem = 2.22 and revealed many absorption lines short-ward of the La emission. Consequently this object was included in a programme of spectroscopy at intermediate resolution with the AAT to investigate QSO absorption lines. Savage et al. have given a finding chart with an optical position of 14h48m09s.3, −23°17′10″ (1950.0). The radio fluxes are 0.40 Jy at 2.7 GHz and 0.31 Jy at 5.0 GHz.

Abstract The D 1∏u - X1∑g+system of H2 and D2 shows strong predissociation. High resolution m easurements on the line widths of isolated absorption lines have been carried out, showing the influence of rotation on the predissociation probability of the corresponding rotational states. Their lifetime decreases with increasing rotation of the molecule and with decreasing mass due to the coupling of electronic and rotational motion. Both results are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions given by Kronig. The shape of the absorption lines broadened by predissociation was found to be typically asymmetric. They are of the Beutler type, well known form the autoionisation of the rare gases.

The broad, steep-sided absorption lines in B-type supergiant spectra are stronger than the absorption lines in main-sequence stars. In addition to lines from the second, third and fourth spectra of the light elements and the metals there is a broad, pointed feature at 1720 A which has constant strength in the B-type supergiants regardless of spectral type. The complete identification of this blend is not known. At high resolution the ultraviolet resonance lines of C iv, N v, Si hi and Si iv in the spectra of OB supergiants are shortward displaced by velocities up to 1800 km s-1 indicating the presence of an escaping atmosphere. At type B5 the expanding atmosphere is moving at about 120 km s-1 which means that the material is probably brought to rest before it escapes from the star. Evidence is presented of the presence of a stationary shell around the B5Ia supergiant q Canis Majoris as well as a slowly expanding atmosphere.

The exceptional brightness of SN1987A provided a wealth of opportunities for probing not only the interstellar medium in our Galaxy and in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), but also any intergalactic matter between the two. Spectroscopic work has been directed both towards searches for very weak absorption lines, which require data of exceptionally high signal-to-noise ratio, and towards recording spectra of known features at unprecedentedly high resolution. Both approaches have yielded exciting and unexpected results. The first detection of [FeX] absorption has revealed the presence of million-degree gas in the interstellar medium of the LMC, possibly resulting from the explosions of previous supernovae in the 30-Doradus HII region. The ultra-high-resolution observations have been successful in resolving the hyperfine structure of the sodium D lines in several interstellar clouds along the line of sight to the supernova. This implies that the clouds are at temperatures of, at most, 170 K and have internal turbulent velocities of not more than 0.2 km s−1; large-scale motions thus appear to be mainly subsonic in these clouds. Radio observations of HI emission at 21-cm with the Parkes telescope have been combined with measurements of a variety of ultraviolet absorption lines, obtained with the International Ultraviolet Explorer satellite, to give the most detailed picture yet of the chemical composition of the gas between the Galaxy and the LMC. Finally, photographic monitoring of the light echo of SN 1987A over the last two years has provided a three-dimensional view of the interstellar environment in which SN 1987A exploded, complementing vividly the information deduced from the spectroscopic results.
