Comments: Absorption cross sections of CO2 and CO in the region from 1306 A to 374 A have been measured.
The CO absorption between 1306 A and 955 A was less than 10-18 cm2. Prominent resonance bands appeared 
at 924 A and extended to 600 A. An absorption continuum could be identified between 876 A and 374 A showing 
maximum values of sigma ~ 19×10-18 cm2 between 750 A and 550 A with perhaps a small dip of 15×10-18 cm2 
at 644 A. The f-value of this continuum was 2.8.
