APO and Diffuse Interstellar Bands Donald G. York University of Chicago APO 20 th (30 th ?) reunion May 12, 2014

What are Diffuse Interstellar Bands? 570 interstellar lines between 4000A and 8500A (more to the red, developed by SDSS III IR spectrograph). Interstellar because they are stationary in spectra of spectroscopic binaries. Known from first 2 discovered in 1919, for 95 years, unidentified by type of material or QM system in all that time.

Diffuse: widths >30 km/sec, compared to atomic line widths of 0.3 km/sec Thought now to be molecular, species not agreed on. If molecular, the diffuseness would be explained by radiative pumping of low lying rotational levels by the Cosmic Microwave Background (as for CN), but many more levels.

The personal story-- What APO means to me. 1. Thesis on Diffuse Interstellar Bands with Carnegie image tube of gain 0.1 and photographic plates. Tube was removed and thesis completed. Realized there had to be a better way. Dreams of having own large, private telescope to do long programs. I moved to Princeton to have such access (UV). 2. There is pre-history only known by rumor. (1970s)(NMSU, Washington, Howard). 3. Wallerstein talks to Jenkins (an ISM collaborator) at Princeton, Jenkins suggests Wallerstein talk to Ostriker. 4. JPO shows interest but cannot take on the full 1/3 partnership needed.

5. JPO asks me to be point person for Princeton and find out more. Travel to Sunspot, meets Anderson and Balick. 6. York uses Kitt Peak 4 meter (1980) to observe DIBs. CCD read noise, 50 electrons. Peer reviewed time highly restrictive. 7. John Lowrance, Princeton entrepreneur and engineer, suggests using remote observing using new technology (1400 baud modems) to control telescope from remote sites. Princeton did that with Stratoscope in the 1960s.

8. York moves in 1982 to Chicago, informs colleagues of possibility. 9. Dean Stuart Rice urges astronomers to be more ambitious and go for the partnership. 10. Consortium formed. Washington, Washington State, NMSU, Princeton, Chicago Roads started 11. Around 1988, instruments were decided, including an echelle (NSF proposal) years of waiting, for mirror, instruments, etc. Remote operation worked almost out of the box, by 1988, in trial runs.

1998 Echelle on telescope with SDSS-SITE 2kx2K CCD, 5 electron read noise. Mirror from Arizona, Lots of organizing and engineering. January 7, 1999, first DIB spectra taken, 15 Mon and rho Leo. Signal to noise 500 in single spectra. The dream had come true. Technology, private telescope, lots of time, remote observing Since then, we have observed over 200 half- nights, over 300 stars
