High resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a powerful diagnostic tool for probing chemical and physical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at various phases. We present detections of K transition absorption lines from the low ionization ions of OI, OII, NeI, NeII, and NeIII, and the high ionization ones of OVI, OVII, OVIII, NeIX, and MgXI, as well as details of neutral absorption edges from Mg, Ne, and O in an unprecedented high quality spectrum of the low mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2. These absorption features trace the intervening interstellar medium which is indicated by the unshifted line centroids with respect to the rest frame wavelengths of the corresponding atomic transitions. We have measured the column densities of each ion. We complement these measurements with the radio HI and optical Halpha observations toward the same sight line and estimate the mean abundances of Ne, O, and Mg in the cool phase to Ne/H=0.84^{+0.13}_{-0.10} \times 10^{-4}, O/H=3.83^{+0.48}_{-0.43} \times 10^{-4}, and Mg/H=0.35^{+0.09}_{-0.11} \times 10^{-4}, and O and Mg in the hot phase to O/H=5.81^{+1.30}_{-1.34} \times 10^{-4} and Mg/H=0.33^{+0.09}_{-0.09} \times 10^{-4}, respectively. These results indicate a mild depletion of oxygen into dust grains in the cool phase and little or no depletion of magnesium. We also find that absorption from highly ionized ions in the hot Galactic disk gas can account for most of the absorption observed toward the extragalactic sight lines like Mrk 421. The bulk of the observed OVI likely originates from the conductive interfaces between the cool and hot gases, from which a significant amount of NV and CIV emission is predicted.

High resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a powerful diagnostic tool for probing chemical and physical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) at various phases.

A revision of the vdB 130 cluster stellar content based on GAIA DR2 Data. Interstellar extinction toward the Cyg OB1 supershell
研究了两个恒星形成区域：年轻的嵌入式疏散星团vdB 130和位于天鹅座OB 1协会周围膨胀超壳层壁上的彗星分子云头部和尾部观察到的原星团邻域。GAIA DR 2星表被用来验证vdB 130星团的恒星组成，该星团的成员是早先使用UCAC 4星表选择的。vdB 130成员的新样本包含68颗自行接近（在1 mas yr $^{-1}$）和接近三角形视差（范围从0.50到0.70 mas）的恒星。示出的相对视差误差增加与物体的距离，并取决于它们的大小。在1.5-2 kpc的距离上，亮星和暗星的比例分别为3%-7%和20%-30%。集群的历史不超过~ 1000万年。在俄罗斯望远镜上进行的新的光谱和光度观测与GAIA DR 2相结合，以寻找原星团区域的光学成分-一个新的星爆。对原星团附近20颗恒星的分析显示，它们既没有集中的自行，也没有集中的惯性。根据光谱学、光度学和三角学的估计，这些恒星的距离在0.4到2.5 kpc之间，并且颜色过剩随着距离D（kpc）的增加而增加，符合以下定律：$E(B-V)\simeq 0.6\times D$ ma。
