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 ...

Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

Synthesis and Spectroscopy of Buckminsterfullerene Cation
Crystals, 2021 The assignment of several diffuse interstellar bands in the near-infrared to C60+ ions present at high abundance in space has renewed interest in the astrochemical importance of fullerenes and analogues.

A Comparison of the Simulations and Observations for a Nearby Spiral Arm
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The analysis is focused on the ability of galactic open clusters to trace the spiral arms, based on the recent data releases from Gaia. For this, a simple 1D description of the motion of spiral arms and clusters is introduced.

Diffuse Interstellar Bands Toward HD 62542 [PDF]
, 2005 Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been detected for the first time along the peculiar translucent line of sight toward HD 62542, which passes through a diffuse cloud core.

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

SEARCH FOR SPECTROSCOPIC FAMILIES AMONG DIFFUSE INTERSTELLAR BANDS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2010 Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) await an explanation for many decades. One expects that significant progress in identification of DIBs’ carriers will be possible when all the known DIBs are divided into families in such a way that only one carrier is ...
