Getting Started
Hello World! Welcome to EDIBLES! Here are a few things to get you started:
What are the DIBs? Here are a few review papers:
- Herbig 1995 https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/pdf/1995ARA%26A..33...19H
- Sarre 2006 https://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0608113.pdf
The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Band Large Exploration Survey. A very general descrption is in the Messenger paper:
- Cami et al., 2018: General description [https://www.eso.org/sci/publications/messenger/archive/no.171-mar18/messenger-no171-31-36.pdf](https://www.eso.org/sci/publications/messenger/archive/no.171-mar18/messenger-no171-31-36.pdf
More detailed descriptions are in the series of EDIBLES papers:

Huang & Oka (2015) modelled the 5797 Angstrom DIB assuming polar molecules, which implies a very low rotational temperature of approximately 2.7K of the carrier molecule due to rotational cooing. They also provide a very detailed discussion about the symmetry and size of possible carrier molecules.
