Puzzling Phenomenon of Diffuse Interstellar Bands
B. Wszolek
The discovery of the first diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) dates back to the pioneering years of stellar spectroscopy. Today, we know about 300 absorption structures of this kind…
Interstellar C_2 Molecule Detected in UV Spectra of Reddened Stars
M. Dyrka, B. Wszolek
molecule is sometimes considered as a crucial component of carriers of some diffuse interstellar bands. Using UV data achieved by spectrometer STIS fed with HST we detected i…
Spectroscopic Families Among Diffuse Interstellar Bands
K. Bryndal, B. Wszolek
Looking for spectroscopic families in the whole set of discovered diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) is an indirect trial of solving the problem of DIBs' carriers. Basing on optical…
The Jagiellonians and the Stars
K. Baczek, B. Wszolek
The largest centre for astronomical and astrological study in the fifteenth century was the University of Cracow, which always was under special care of Jagiellonians. The use of a…
