Description

High-resolution, high signal-to-noise observations of the interstellar lines of CaII and NaI in the spectrum of the bright Seyfert galaxy NGC3783 are presented. These observations probe the interstellar medium over a very extended path length through the disc and halo of our Galaxy and of NGC3783, as well as any intergalactic gas. (author)
