Abstract: FUSE observations of four stars in the line of sight to the Cyg OB1 IR-detected superbubble have been analyzed for high-velocity features in the O VI interstellar lines, which might be attributed to the shock structure of the superbubble. Multiple components were detected in the spectra of all four stars, with a velocity range of −85 km/s to +29 km/s. As many as four separate velocity components were identified in each spectrum, implying multiple shock structures in the superbubble. Derived column densities of the O VI components indicate shock velocities of 160-190 km/s according to steady state shock theory.
