Spectroscopy of Diffuse Interstellar Bands

赫比格博士将进行观察， 提供了重要的新线索， 星际带一直困扰着天文学家 年 为了将扩散的强度与 星际介质的局部性质的带，赫比格博士 将进行高精度的恒星观测， 电离氢云和云后的恒星， 星际尘埃颗粒的覆盖层已经被去除。 博士 赫比格还将寻找星际 多原子碳分子被建议作为载体 扩散带的边缘 恒星光谱学的一个经典问题仍然没有解决， 许多年;弥漫的星际带的来源仍然是 一个谜 新仪器，如电荷耦合器件 和网状阵列，重新进行了观测， 这个问题值得。 赫比格博士现在的处境很好 为解开这个谜团提供新的线索

Dr. Herbig will carry out observations which are designed to provide important new clues to the source of the diffuse interstellar bands which have been puzzling astronomers for many years. In an effort to correlate the strengths of the diffuse bands with local properties of the interstellar medium, Dr. Herbig will carry out high precision observations of stars imbedded in ionized hydrogen clouds and of stars behind clouds in which the coatings of interstellar dust grains have been removed. Dr. Herbig will also search for the signature of interstellar polyatomic carbon molecules which have been suggested as a carrier of the diffuse bands. A classical problem of stellar spectroscopy remains unsolved after many years; the source of the diffuse interstellar bands is still a mystery. New instrumentation, such as charge coupled devices and reticon arrays, makes a renewed observational effort to solve this problem worthwhile. Dr. Herbig is in an excellent position to provide new clues to the resolution of this puzzle.
