Ozone absorption bands in the 3100 A-3400 A region
Description
The physical processes which produce terrestrial ozone absorption are discussed deriving ozone opacities from laboratory cross sections and published ozone column densities. The ozone opacity decreases from about 1 at 3100 A to about 0.001 at 3500 A. A comparison of model DA white-dwarf spectra absorbed by ozone and actual observed spectra shows good agreement. Therefore, simulated absorbed spectra may be used to remove ozone contamination in ground-based data. 17 refs
