Abstract

The star ${\zeta}$ Ophiuchi (HD 149757) is one of the brightest massive stars in the northern hemisphere and was widely studied in various wavelength domains. We report the analysis results of far ultraviolet (FUV) observations with other wavelengths for around ${\zeta}$ Ophiuchi. We study the correlation of between multi wavelength observations. We have developed a Monte Carlo code that simulates dust scattering of light including multiple encounters. The code is applied to the present Oph HII region to obtain the geometrical information of dust such as distance and thickness. Also We apply three-dimensional photoionization code to model Wisconsin $H{\alpha}$ Mapper observations of the H II region surrounding the star.
