Abstract: We present an analysis of interstellar H2 toward HD 37903, which is a hot B 1.5 V star located in the NGC 2023 reflection nebula. Meyer et al. (2001, ApJ, 553, L59) used a rich spectrum of vibrationally excited H2 observed by the HST to calculate a model of the interstellar cloud toward HD 37903. We extend their analysis by including the ν′′ = 0 vibrational level observed by the FUSE satellite.
