This award will support collaborative research between Dr. Peter A.             Wehinger of Arizona State University, Tempe, and Dr. Bruce A.                   Peterson of the Mt. Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories of the              Australian National University, Canberra.  The investigators intend             to uncover new information about interstellar matter by determining             the carbon isotopic abundance ratio in a sample of bright comets, and           comparing that ratio to that in comet Halley; and to determine the              abundance ratio in the local interstellar medium by observing                   absorption lines of molecules and molecular ions in the lines-of-sight          of bright O- and B-type stars.  Cometary abundance ratios are                   characteristic of the interstellar matter millions of years ago, and            the two measurements will be compared, in order to illuminate the               nature of the evolution of the interstellar matter.                                                                                                             The project combines the expertise of the two investigators, both of            whom are experts in the determination of spectra from astronomical              measurements,  and who have worked together to study the isotopic               abundance ratio of Halley itself, at the Mt. Stromlo Observatory in             Australia.  In addition to giving providing new information about the           composition of interstellar matter, advances in techniques for                  interpreting isotopic spectra may be expected from this research.
