In a laboratory experiment, employing an extreme ultraviolet/near-infrared double resonance technique, a recent hypothesis by Sorokin and Glownia on the carrier of the diffuse interstellar bands is tested. Quantum states C 1 ÷ H u, v = 9, J = 1-3 of molecular hydrogen were populated by an extreme ul
It has been proposed that some of the diffuse interstellar absorption bands which have puzzled astronomers for several decades may be assigned to transitions in vibrationally excited H 2 molecules. These molecules would arise in circumstellar environments where stellar Lyman-cx photons create a popu
