Abstract: The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of study, two strong and possibly three weak near-infrared DIBs have recently been attributed… read more here.

Abstract: ABRIDGED: Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are faint spectral absorption features of unknown origin. Research on DIBs beyond the Local Group (LG) will surely blossom in the era of the ELTs. A possibility that needs to… read more here.

Abstract: The chemistry of the diffuse interstellar medium is driven by the combined influences of cosmic rays, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and turbulence. Previously detected at the outer edges of photodissociation regions (PDRs) and formed from the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1112
Abstract: With the use of the data from archives, we studied the correlations between the equivalent widths of four diffuse interstellar bands (4430$A$, 5780$A$, 5797$A$, 6284$A$) and properties of the target stars (colour excess values, distances… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa223
Abstract: We report the first spectroscopic observations of a background star seen through the region between the ionization front and the dissociation front of the nebula IC 63. This photodissociation region (PDR) exhibits intense extended red… read more here.
