Diffuse interstellar bands in the lab [PDF]

Science, 2015
Astrochemistry The diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are a set of hundreds of broad optical/near-infrared absorption features seen throughout the interstellar medium. Despite the first DIBs being discovered as long ago as 1922, none of the bands has ever been convincingly identified with a particular chemical species. Now Campbell et al.

Regarding the Detection of Interstellar C4 and C5 Molecules

The Astrophysical Journal
Analysis of very high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) spectra of reddened stars allowed us to determine an upper limit (UL) of the column density N (C _4 ).

Heteroatom-doped hydrogenated amorphous carbons, a-C:H:X 'Volatile' silicon, sulphur and nitrogen depletion, blue photoluminescence, diffuse interstellar bands and ferro-magnetic carbon grain connections (Research Note)

, 2013
Context. Hydrogenated amorphous carbons, a-C:H, can incorporate a variety of heteroatoms, which can lead to interesting effects. Aims. To investigate the doping of interstellar a-C:H grains with, principally, Si, O, N and S atoms within the astrophysical

On the relationship between Red Rectangle and diffuse interstellar bands [PDF]

, 2009
A careful examination of Red Rectangle bands which have been considered as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in emission shows that a few are likely to be artifacts in the spectrum. Some others result from atmospheric extinction. Consequences for the Red

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Data-driven Discovery of Diffuse Interstellar Bands with APOGEE Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal
Data-driven models of stellar spectra are useful tools to study nonstellar information, such as the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) caused by intervening interstellar material.

Strength Ratios of Diffuse Interstellar Bands in Slightly Reddened Objects

Universe
The disk of the Milky Way fills the interstellar medium in the form of discrete clouds, many (∼30) light-years across. The average density of this medium is 1 hydrogen atom per cm3 (Oort limit), in the clouds—several dozen atoms, and between the clouds ...

The Optical -- Mid-infrared Extinction Law of the l=165 Sightline in the Galactic Plane: Diversity of Extinction Law in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium

, 2017
Understanding the effects of dust extinction is important to properly interpret observations. The optical total-to-selective extinction ratio, Rv = Av/E(B-V), is widely used to describe extinction variations in ultraviolet and optical bands. Since the Rv=

Soft X‐Ray Emission From Saturn's Magnetosheath Part I: 3D Modeling From MHD Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Saturn's magnetosheath hosts a mixed population of water‐group neutrals and solar wind plasma. We present a 3‐D model of soft X‐ray emission by ion‐neutral charge exchange in the near‐equatorial magnetosheath. The model employs MHD simulation data of plasma properties at Saturn, Enceladus‐genic neutral populations extrapolated from existing ...

A Tale of Two Sightlines: Comparison of Hydrocarbon Dust Absorption Bands toward Cygnus OB2-12 and the Galactic Center

The Astrophysical Journal
Infrared spectra of hydrocarbon dust absorption bands toward the bright hypergiant Cygnus OB2-12 are compared to published spectra of the Quintuplet Cluster, a sightline to the Galactic center. The Cyg OB2-12 data include a new ground-based 2.86−3.70 μ m
