Abstract
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are a collection of weak interstellar absorptions in the spectra of reddened objects. We have successfully measured three strong DIBs (i.e., λ 5780, 5797, and 6614 Å) on the spectra of 125 Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) target stars. The fitting uses a template spectrum in order to extract and measure individual DIB. We applied a correlation study between DIBs and confirmed that DIBs are positively correlated with each other, meaning that their carrier(s) are co-existing in the interstellar medium. Also, DIBs are well-correlated with color excess E(B-V). From this result, which is in a good agreement with earlier studies, conclude that DIBs can be used as a tracer of the interstellar medium.
