GRAPHITE, 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...
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 کاملDiffuse interstellar bands in the spectra of massive YSOs
We have compared the B−V colour excess, E(B–V), obtained for a sample of five optically visible massive YSOs both from diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in their spectra and from their optical continuum slopes. Our targets are HD 200775, BD+40o4124, MWC 1080, MWC 297 and MWC 349A. First, E(B–V) towards each of the targets is derived by dereddening the observed continua to match those of B-type ...
