High Spectral Resolution UV Observations of the Local ISM
Abstract
We present high spectral resolution UV absorption measurements of the sight-lines towards two B-type stars in the local interstellar medium recorded with the newly refurbished HST-STIS instrument. We comment on the physical condition of the local interstellar gas within 80pc of the Sun, especially with regard to the possibility that the Local Bubble cavity may not be filled with a high temperature, highly ionized plasma.
