Abstract:
We present optical spectra of 403 stars and quasi-stellar objects in
order to obtain distance limits towards intermediate- and
high-velocity clouds (IHVCs), including new Fibre-fed Extended Range
Optical Spectrograph (FEROS) observations plus archival ELODIE, FEROS,
High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES) and Ultraviolet and
Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) data.
Description:
We use a combination of new observations and data from various
astronomical archives. The FEROS observations were taken on the
nights of 2006 December 8 and 9.
