The APO DIB Survey • Apache Point Observatory 3.5-meter • 3,600–10,200 Å ; / ~ 37,500 (8 km/s) • 119 nights, from Jan 1999 to Jan 2003 • S/N (@ 5780Å) > 500 for 160 stars (114 reddened) • Measurements & analysis still very much underway
Our Previous Atlas: HD 204827 • EB-V=1.11, V=7.94 • Strongest “C2 DIBs” • Highest column density of C3 • Double-lined spectroscopic binary! • Spectral Types O9.5 V & B0.5 III • 380 DIBs unambiguously detected • ApJ 680, 1256 (2008) HD 204827 Credit: robgendlerastropics.com
Our Newest Atlas: HD 183143 • EB-V= 1.27, V=6.92, B7Iae • [Unfortunately, not a binary!] • Well studied by Herbig, others • No detectable C2 or C3 • Distinct chemical environment • 414 DIBs detected (135 are “new”) • DIB population systematically redder, broader, and stronger than HD 204827 • Total DIB count now ~545
