摘要:

研究了M31的星际介质中的星际漫谱。W. M.利用凯克天文台对M31中OB78星协附近的两颗超巨星MAG 63885和MAG 70817进行了光谱观测,其金属丰度约等于太阳。5780,5797,6203,6283和6613 DIB在两条视线中都被检测到,速度与M31星际Na I吸收相匹配。光谱分类和星际红化的两颗恒星。给出了弥散星际带(DIB)的等效宽度和径向速度。在M31中观测到的MAG 63885方向的DIBs光谱与在银河系中观测到的光谱相似。在MAG 70817附近,每单位红化的DIB等效宽度大约是银河系平均值的三倍。与宇宙中其他地方的观测结果相比,相对于变红,OB78附近的M31 ISM显然是形成DIB载体的非常有利的环境。

英文摘要:

We investigate the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) spectrum in the interstellar medium of M31. The DEIMOS spectrograph of the W. M. Keck observatory was used to make optical spectroscopic observations of two supergiant stars, MAG 63885 and MAG 70817, in the vicinity of the OB78 association in M31 where the metallicity is approximately equal to solar. The 5780, 5797, 6203, 6283 and 6613 DIBs are detected in both sightlines at velocities matching the M31 interstellar Na I absorption. The spectra are classified and interstellar reddenings are derived for both stars. Diffuse interstellar band (DIB) equivalent widths and radial velocities are presented. The spectrum of DIBs observed in M31 towards MAG 63885 is found to be similar to that observed in the Milky Way. Towards MAG 70817 the DIB equivalent widths per unit reddening are about three times the Galactic average. Compared to observations elsewhere in the Universe, relative to reddening the M31 ISM in the vicinity of OB78 is apparently a highly favourable environment for the formation of DIB carriers.
