A high spectral resolution investigation of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the near-infrared ($YJ$ band) is conducted to test new methods, to confirm and improve existing parameters, and to search for new DIBs. Methods: The CRyogenic…
We present the largest sample to-date of intermediate-resolution blue-to-red optical spectra of B-type supergiants in M31 and undertake the first survey of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in this galaxy. Spectral classifications, radial…
The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) still remain an unknown commodity. Both dust and molecules have been suggested as carriers but none proposed have yet been able to explain the nature and the diversity of the DIBs.…
In this work we present the results of a systematic search for diffuse bands (DBs, hereafter) in the circumstellar envelopes of a carefully selected sample of post-AGB stars. We concentrated on the analysis of 9 of the DBs most commonly…
We present a new high signal to noise ratio spectroscopic survey of the Northern hemisphere to probe the Local Bubble and its surroundings using the $\lambda 5780$ \AA\ and $\lambda 5797$ \AA\ Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs). We observed…
The detection of interstellar C$_{60}^{+}$ has been debated for 30 years. The contested attribution of a weaker DIB at 9365 {\AA} was re-evaluated here on the basis of a Pearson correlation relative to 9577 {\AA}, which was previously tied…
We use star, galaxy and quasar spectra taken by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to map out the distribution of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) induced by the Milky Way. We show that, after carefully removing the intrinsic spectral energy…
This molecular orbital analysis predicts that pure carbon graphene molecules would play an important role on astronomically observed Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIB), rather than fullerene. Laboratory experiments precisely coincided with…
Large organic molecules and carbon clusters are basic building blocks of life, but their existence in the universe has not been confirmed beyond doubt. A number of unidentified absorption features (arising in the diffuse inter-stellar…
The rest wavelengths of DIBs are of fundamental importance owing to the lack of unambiguous identification for these mysterious features. Usually the wavelengths of DIBs are estimated using known interstellar lines serving to shift the…
The identification of the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) remains to be established, with the exception of five bands attributed to C60+, although it is generally agreed that DIB carriers should be large carbon-based…
The diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 6196 A exhibits notable profile variations across the Milky Way. This study addresses three open issues: the unusual broadening of the DIB profile towards Upper Sco (USco), the lack of profile…
We present a new database of 5780.5 and 6283.8 {\AA} DIB measurements and also study their correlation with the reddening. The database is based on high-resolution, high-quality spectra of early-type nearby stars located in the southern…
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are broad absorption features associated with interstellar dust and can serve as chemical and kinematic tracers. Conventional measurements of DIBs in stellar spectra are complicated by residuals between…
It is well known that interstellar spectral features correlate with color excess E(B$-$V). This suggests that measuring intensities of these features allows one to estimate reddening of stars. The aim of this paper is to check how tight…
We study the behavior of eight diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in different interstellar environments, as characterized by the fraction of hydrogen in molecular form [$f$(H$_2$)], with comparisons to the corresponding behavior of various…
We present a principal component analysis of 23 line of sight parameters (including the strengths of 16 diffuse interstellar bands, DIBs) for a well-chosen sample of single-cloud sightlines representing a broad range of environmental…
The Solar System is located within a low-density cavity, known as the Local Bubble, which appears to be filled with an X-ray emitting gas at a temperature of 10$^6$ K. Such conditions are too harsh for typical interstellar atoms and…
[ABRIDGED] DIBs are faint absorption features of mainly unknown origin. Observational constraints on their carriers have been provided in the vast majority of the cases via observations in our Galaxy. Detections in other galaxies are…
The carbonaceous macromolecules imprinting in astronomical spectra the numerous absorptions called Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs) are omnipresent in the Galaxy and beyond and represent a considerable reservoir of organic matter. However,…
