The CH 2 CN − molecule : Carrier of the λ 8037 diffuse interstellar band ?

The hypothesis that the cyanomethyl anion CH2CN is responsible for the relatively narrow diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 8037.8± 0.15 Å is examined with reference to new observational data. The 00 absorption band arising from the B1 − X̃ 1A′ transition from the electronic ground state to the first dipole-bound state of the anion is calculated for a rotational temperature of 2.7 K using litera...

Rotational excitation of the interstellar NH2 radical by H2.

We present quantum close-coupling calculations for the rotational excitation of the interstellar amidogen radical NH2 due to collisions with H2 molecules. The calculations are based on a recent, high-accuracy full-dimensional NH4 potential energy surface adapted for rigid-rotor scattering calculations. The collisional cross section calculations are performed for all transitions among the first ...

H 2 formation and excitation in the diffuse interstellar medium

We use far-UV absorption spectra obtained with FUSE towards three late B stars to study the formation and excitation of H2 in the diffuse ISM. The data interpretation relies on a model of the chemical and thermal balance in photon-illuminated gas. The data constrain well the n R product between gas density and H2 formation rate on dust grains: n R = 1 to 2.2 10s. For each line of sight the mean...

Rejection of the C Diffuse Interstellar Band Hypothesis

Using the new high-resolution (∼8 km s ) echelle spectrograph on the 3.5 m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory, we have begun a high-sensitivity survey of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in a large sample of reddened stars. Now that we are 2 years into this long-term survey, our sample includes over 20 reddened stars that show at least one of the DIBs that had been suggested to be c...

Theoretical Prediction of a 443 Nm Transition: a Potential Carrier of a Diffuse Interstellar Band

The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) is one of the longest standing problems in astronomical spectroscopy. This completely unattributed absorption spectrum stretches from the UV to near-IR and can be seen in multiple interstellar sightlines with the strongest features at 443 nm and 578 nm. Additionally, the number of known features grows with every observation. No known molecul...
