C IV Emission-line Detection of the Supernova Remnant RCW 114

We report the detection of the C IV $\lambda\lambda1548$, 1551 emission line in the region of the RCW 114 nebula using the FIMS/SPEAR data. The observed C IV line intensity indicates that RCW 114 is much closer to us than HD 156385, a Wolf-Rayet star that was thought to be associated with RCW 114 in some of the previous studies. We also found the existence of a small H I bubble centered on HD 156385, with a different LSR velocity range from that of the large H I bubble which was identified previously as related to RCW 114. These findings imply that the RCW 114 nebula is an old supernova remnant which is not associated with the Wolf-Rayet star, HD 156385. Additionally, the global morphology of the C IV and $H{\alpha}$ emissions shows that RCW 114 has evolved in a non-uniform interstellar medium.
