Description

The 1s2-1s6p H- auto-ionization resonance has been observed as a diffuse interstellar line in several highly reddened O and B stars. The identification based on its wavelength has been confirmed by its equivalent width in HD 183143. The addition of the 1s2-1snp diffuse-line series raises the total H- oscillator strength of absorption to a value close to 2. (orig.)
