Diffuse interstellar bands in M33 [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013 We present the first sample of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the nearby galaxy M33. Studying DIBs in other galaxies allows the behaviour of the carriers to be examined under interstellar conditions which can be quite different from those of the ...

Diffuse interstellar bands in fullerene planetary nebulae: the fullerenes - diffuse interstellar bands connection [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 We present high-resolution (R~15000) VLT/UVES optical spectra of two planetary nebulae (PNe; Tc 1 and M 1-20) where C60 (and C70) fullerenes have already been found.

Detection of diffuse interstellar bands in M31 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008 We investigate the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) spectrum in the interstellar medium of M31. The DEIMOS spectrograph of the W. M. Keck observatory was used to make optical spectroscopic observations of two supergiant stars, MAG 63885 and MAG 70817, in ...

Mapping The Interstellar Medium With Near-Infrared Diffuse Interstellar Bands [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 We map the distribution and properties of the Milky Way's interstellar medium as traced by diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) detected in near-infrared stellar spectra from the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey.

First Principles Rovibronic Absorption Spectra of HF Molecule. [PDF]
J Comput ChemHydrogen fluoride (HF) is astrophysically important, as it has been detected in sunspots, Venus, red giants, and the interstellar medium, serving as a probe of exoplanet atmospheres. This article presents an ab initio investigation of HF rovibronic spectroscopy, combining high‐level electronic‐structure data with nuclear‐motion solutions and refinement

Diffuse Interstellar Bands [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2000 The unidentified diffuse interstellar bands are observed in near-UV, visible and near-IR spectra recorded towards stars which are partially obscured by interstellar dust. Their origin is the longest standing problem in astronomical spectroscopy and dates back to the 1930s when systematic study of the bands first started.

Broadened profiles of diffuse interstellar bands
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT The paper describes profile broadening and peak wavelength variation of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) measured for 46 lines of sight, probably caused by the physical properties of intervening clouds. The full width at half-maximum of four studied DIBs (5780, 5797, 6196 and 6614 Å) demonstrates strong variability, sometimes ...

Diffuse Interstellar Bands in NGC 1448 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2004 We present spectroscopic VLT/UVES observations of two emerging supernovae, the Type Ia SN 2001el and the Type II SN 2003hn, in the spiral galaxy NGC 1448. Our high resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra display atomic lines of Ca II, Na I, Ti II and K I in the host galaxy. In the line of sight towards SN 2001el, we also detect over a dozen diffuse
