French SKA White Book - The French Community towards the Square Kilometre Array

F. Acero, J. -T. Acquaviva, R. Adam +175

The "Square Kilometre Array" (SKA) is a large international radio telescope project characterised, as suggested by its name, by a total collecting area of approximately one square…

Empirical photometric calibration of the Gaia Red Clump: colours, effective temperature and absolute magnitude

L. Ruiz-Dern, C. Babusiaux, F. Arenou +2

Gaia Data Release 1 allows to recalibrate standard candles such as the Red Clump stars. To use those, they first need to be accurately characterised. In particular, colours are nee…

The 15273 Å diffuse interstellar band in the dark cloud Barnard 68

M. Elyajouri, N. L. J. Cox, R. Lallement

High obscuration of background stars behind dark clouds precludes the detection of optical diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and hence our knowledge of DIB carriers in these enviro…

The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey: EDIBLES I. Project description, survey sample and quality assessment

Nick Cox, Jan Cami, Amin Farhang +27

The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of study, two strong a…

Three-dimensional mapping of the local interstellar medium with composite data

Letizia Capitanio, Rosine Lallement, Jean Luc Vergely +2

Three-dimensional maps of the Galactic interstellar medium are general astrophysical tools. Reddening maps may be based on the inversion of color excess measurements for individual…

Searching for interstellar C60+ using a new method for high signal-to-noise HST/STIS spectroscopy

M. A. Cordiner, N. L. J. Cox, R. Lallement +9

Due to recent advances in laboratory spectroscopy, the first optical detection of a very large molecule has been claimed in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM): C60+ (ionized Buc…
