▪ Abstract Our understanding of the evolution of organic molecules, and their voyage from
molecular clouds to the early solar system and Earth, has changed dramatically …

Molecular absorption and emission bands dominate the visible, infrared, and submillimeter
spectra of most objects with associated gas. These observations reveal a surprisingly rich …

A critical review of the very long-standing problem of the diffuse interstellar bands is
presented with emphasis on spectroscopic aspects of observational, modelling and …

We discuss the proposal relating the origin of some of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) to
neutral and ionized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in interstellar clouds …

We discuss the proposal of relating the origin of some of the diffuse interstellar absorption
bands (DIBs) to neutral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in translucent …

The discovery and synthesis of fullerenes led to the hypothesis that they may be present and
stable in interstellar space. As first evidence for the largest molecule ever detected in space …

We present a survey of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in single clouds. High resolution and
high S/N observations of DIBs towards lines of sight representing very different …

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. After carefully …

We review the nature of the widespread organic material present in the Milky Way Galaxy
and in the Solar System. Attention is given to the links between these environments and …

We report a deep survey of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) between 3906 Å and 6812
Åunder consistent observing conditions toward three very reddened and five unreddened …
