we propose to measure infrared fine structure lines of the elements fe, cl, f, p, and ti in bright pdrs using the sws and lws in fabry-perot mode. this data can be used to derive the abundances of these elements in the dense interstellar medium. iso will be the only instrument capable of studying depletions in this phase of the interstellar mediumm in the foreseable future.

Mission Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the worlds first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
