Electron density and carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands
We have used the ionisation equilibrium equation to derive the electron density in in-terstellar clouds in the direction to 13 stars. A linear relation was found, that allows the determination of the electron density from the Mg I and Mg II column densities in interstel-lar medium. The comparison of normalised equivalent width of 12 DIBs with the electron density shows that the DIBs equivalent ...
متن کاملDiffuse interstellar bands in RAVE survey spectra
We have used spectra of hot stars from the RAVE Survey in order to investigate the visibility and properties of five diffuse interstellar bands previously reported in the literature. The RAVE spectroscopic survey for Galactic structure and kinematics records CCD spectra covering the 8400–8800 Å wavelength region at 7500 resolving power. The spectra are obtained with the UK Schmidt at the AAO, e...
متن کاملDiffuse Interstellar Bands in NGC 1448 ⋆
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 , Na , Ti and K in the host galaxy. In the line of sight towards SN 2001el, we also detect over a dozen diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) within NGC 1448....
متن کاملOn correlations between diffuse interstellar bands
One way to better apprehend the problem of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) is to search for correlations between the bands in a large sample of spectra towards various lines of sight: a strict correlation may imply that a common carrier is at the origin of the bands, whereas a non-correlation means that different species are involved. We propose this observational test for 10 DIBs collected i...
متن کاملGRAPHITE, TUBULAR PAHs, AND THE DIFFUSE INTERSTELLAR BANDS
Planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are candidates for the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) carriers. Nanometer-size Fe metallic particles, expected to be present during astrophysical graphite growth, are catalytic for formation of a related species—large tubular PAH molecules. We propose that tubular PAH molecules are a component of the interstellar medium. Electronic structure calcu...
