We analyze CO and H2 absorption lines of the foreground molecular cloud in the Carina nebula. We use HST-STIS (Hubble Space Telescope - Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph) & IUE (International Ultraviolet Explorer) INES data to analyze the A-X (v=0→2) absorption band of CO for several hot stars toward the Carina nebula, while 9 stars of them have FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) spectra to analyze the (v=0→4) vibrational band in the Lyman series of H2. The column densities of CO and H2 varies in the vicinity of N(CO) ~ 1013cm−2 and N(H2) ~ 1019cm−2, respectively. The resultant CO-to-H2 abundance ratio is about 10−6. We investigate the variation of the abundance ratio according to the relative position of the target stars to morphology the molecular cloud in the Carina nebula.

AbstractWe have used the high spatial and high spectral resolution of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) to study Eta Carinae and the Homunculus. Since the last minimum in 1998.0, CCD spectral modes have followed changes in the Eta Carinae, and large-scale changes in the Homunculus. Since 2001.7, MAMA echelle-mode observations have followed changes in the Eta Carinae and the very nearby ejecta through the 2003.5 minimum. Very significant changes in the star and nebular occur as the X-Ray drop occurs in the minimum.
