Left: Composite curve of growth for 28 H2 lines (﹩J=0,\,1,\,2,\,3﹩) in the SMC (+120 km s−1) component toward HD 5980 with best‐fit Doppler parameter ﹩b=10﹩ km s−1 and column densities N(J). Right: Same 28 FUSE lines, but with the higher ORFEUS column densities for ﹩J=0﹩, 1, 2 (see Richter et al. 1998, who used ﹩b=6﹩ km s−1).
