The molecular universe

A Tielens - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2013 - APS
Molecular absorption and emission bands dominate the visible, infrared, and submillimeter
spectra of most objects with associated gas. These observations reveal a surprisingly rich …

Studies of diffuse interstellar bands V. Pairwise correlations of eight strong DIBs and neutral hydrogen, molecular hydrogen, and color excess

SD Friedman, DG York, BJ McCall… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the diffuse interstellar bands: A survey

F Salama, GA Galazutdinov, J Krełowski… - The Astrophysical …, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org

Exploring the diffuse interstellar bands with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

TW Lan, B Ménard, G Zhu - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
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 …
