The search for diffuse interstellar bands in quasar absorption line systems

The diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) probably arise from complex organic molecules whose strength in local galaxies correlates with neutral hydrogen column density, N(H I), and dust reddening, E(B−V). Because Damped Lyman-α systems are known to have high N(H I), and Ca II absorbers in quasar (QSO) s...
