Diffuse Interstellar Bands

Diffuse Interstellar Bands is a series of broad absorption features observed in the optical and near-infrared spectra of stars, arising from the absorption of light by unidentified molecules or dust grains in the diffuse interstellar medium, and distinguished from atomic or simple molecular absorption lines by their broad, diffuse profiles and complex, unassigned origins.
