Abstract
AbstractWhite dwarfs are useful objects with which to study the local interstellar medium (ISM). High ionisation state absorption features that cannot be attributed to the photosphere or the ISM have been observed along the line-of-sight to a number of white dwarf stars. Suggested origins of these lines include ionisation from past supernovae, stellar winds, circumstellar disks, photoionisation from nearby hot stars or also from the white dwarf itself. In this study we consider the origin of these non-photospheric highly ionised lines in two stars towards a rarefied region of the galaxy known as the extended β CMa Tunnel. We present preliminary results from our analysis of the first of these two stars.
