英文摘要 | We study the behavior of eight diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in different interstellar environments, as characterized by the fraction of hydrogen in molecular form (f(H2)), with comparisons to the corresponding behavior of various known atomic and molecular species. The equivalent widths of the five "normal" DIBs (lambda lambda 5780.5, 5797.1, 6196.0, 6283.8, and 6613.6), normalized to EB-V, show a "lambda-shaped" behavior: they increase at low f(H2), peak at f(H2) similar to 0.3, and then decrease. The similarly normalized column densities of Ca, Ca+, Ti+, and CH+ also decline for f(H2) > 0.3. In contrast, the normalized column densities of Na, K, CH, CN, and CO increase monotonically with f(H2), and the trends exhibited by the three C-2 DIBs (lambda lambda 4726.8, 4963.9, and 4984.8) lie between those two general behaviors. These trends with f(H2) are accompanied by cosmic scatter, the dispersion at any given fH2 being significantly larger than the individual errors of measurement. The lambda-shaped trends suggest the balance between creation and destruction of the DIB carriers differs dramatically between diffuse atomic and diffuse molecular clouds; additional processes aside from ionization and shielding are needed to explain those observed trends. Except for several special cases, the highest W-lambda(5780)/W-lambda(5797) ratios, characterizing the so-called "sigma-zeta effect," occur only at f(H2) < 0.2. We propose a sequence of DIBs based on trends in their pair-wise strength ratios with increasing f(H2). In order of increasing environmental density, we find the lambda 6283.8 and lambda 5780.5 DIBs, the lambda 6196.0 DIB, the lambda 6613.6 DIB, the lambda 5797.1 DIB, and the C-2 DIBs. |
