Abstract :
[en] Interstellar absorption on the line of sight to SN 1986G in NGC 5128 is investigated on the basis of high-resolution high-S/N observations obtained with the Caspec echelle spectrograph at the f/8 Cassegrain focus of the 3.6-m telescope at ESO on May 7-11, 1986. The data are presented in extensive tables and graphs and characterized in detail. Evidence is found for a warped disk or ring of cool gas, spread over a velocity range of about 178 km/sec and with 12 or more distinct clouds absorbing Ca II and Na I; three of the seven components have Ca(+)/Na(0) column-density ratios less than 1. Also detected are two absorption components with vH of 236 and 257 km/sec (possibly associated with high-velocity H I clouds), diffuse interstellar bands at both Galactic and NGC 5128 velocities, and optical CH and CH(+) absorption lines.
