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 “C 2 DIBs” Highest column density of C 3 Double-lined spectroscopic binary! – Spectral Types O 9. 5 V & B 0. 5 III • 380 DIBs unambiguously detected • Ap. J 680, 1256 (2008) Credit: robgendlerastropics. com HD 204827
Our Newest Atlas: HD 183143 • EB-V= 1. 27, V=6. 92, B 7 Iae – [Unfortunately, not a binary!] • Well studied by Herbig, others • No detectable C 2 or C 3 – Distinct chemical environment • 414 DIBs detected (135 are “new”) • DIB population systematically redder, broader, and stronger than HD 204827 • Total DIB count now ~545
