摘要:

HD 183143 [B7 Iae,E(B-V)= 1.27]的阶梯光谱在三个晚上获得,在最终组合光谱中,分辨率R = 38,000,6400 A时信噪比约为1000。在3900和8100 A之间测量的414个弥漫星际带(DIB)的目录。中心波长,宽度(FWHM),和几乎所有的频带的等效宽度列表,以及后者的最小不确定性。在414个波段中,有135个(或33%)在之前的四次现代调查中没有报告过,包括HD 183143在内的各种恒星的光谱中的DIB。这项研究的主要结果是,目录中的绝大多数波段都很弱,相当窄。典型等效宽度为几mA,带宽(FWHM)通常接近0.7 A。在414条谱带中没有发现优选的波数间距,这可能为确定被认为引起DIB的大分子的身份提供线索。在两个光谱中的检测限大致相当的情况下,观察到的朝向HD 183143的DIB群体比朝向HD 204827的DIB群体更红、更宽、更强。此外,在HD 183143的方向上还没有探测到C2分子的星际谱线,而在HD 204827的方向上则观测到非常高的N(C2)/E(B-V)。因此,要么是假定产生DIB的大分子的丰度,要么是吸收云中的物理条件,或者两者兼而有之,这两种情况之间一定有很大的不同。

英文摘要:

Echelle spectra of HD 183143 [B7Iae, E(B-V) = 1.27] were obtained on three nights, at a resolving power R = 38,000 and with a signal-to-noise ratio ~1000 at 6400 A in the final, combined spectrum. A catalog is presented of 414 diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) measured between 3900 and 8100 A in this spectrum. The central wavelengths, the widths (FWHM), and the equivalent widths of nearly all of the bands are tabulated, along with the minimum uncertainties in the latter. Among the 414 bands, 135 (or 33%) were not reported in four previous, modern surveys of the DIBs in the spectra of various stars, including HD 183143. The principal result of this study is that the great majority of the bands in the catalog are very weak and fairly narrow. Typical equivalent widths amount to a few mA, and the bandwidths (FWHM) are most often near 0.7 A. No preferred wavenumber spacings among the 414 bands are identified which could provide clues to the identities of the large molecules thought to cause the DIBs. At generally comparable detection limits in both spectra, the population of DIBs observed toward HD 183143 is systematically redder, broader, and stronger than that seen toward HD 204827 (Paper II). In addition, interstellar lines of C2 molecules have not been detected toward HD 183143, while a very high value of N(C2)/E(B-V) is observed toward HD 204827. Therefore, either the abundances of the large molecules presumed to give rise to the DIBs, or the physical conditions in the absorbing clouds, or both, must differ significantly between the two cases.
