The APO DIB Survey• Apache Point Observatory 3.5-meter• 3,600–10,200 Å ; / ~ 37,500 (8 km/s)• 119 nights, from Jan 1999 to Jan 2003• S/N (@ 5780Å) > 500 for 160 stars (114 reddened)• Measurements & analysis still very much underway

Our Previous Atlas: HD 204827

• EB-V=1.11, V=7.94

• Strongest “C2 DIBs”

• Highest column density of C3

• Double-lined spectroscopic binary!– Spectral Types O9.5 V & B0.5 III

• 380 DIBs unambiguously detected

• ApJ 680, 1256 (2008)

Our Newest Atlas: HD 183143

• EB-V= 1.27, V=6.92, B7Iae

– [Unfortunately, not a binary!]

• Well studied by Herbig, others

• No detectable C2 or C3

– Distinct chemical environment

• 414 DIBs detected (135 are “new”)

• DIB population systematically redder, broader, and stronger than HD 204827

• Total DIB count now ~545
