Abstract
High-resolution echelle spectra of five reddened OB stars are used to analyse details of the profiles of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) at 4726, 4735, 5418, 5850, 6196, 6376, 6379 A together with the well studied 5797, 5780 and 6614 ones. All targets do not show Doppler splitting in the interstellar CH 4300 band with the applied resolving power R = 115 000. The profiles of DIBs differ from object to object except 5418 which looks invariant in our sample: the DIB is a good candidate for further study of possible isotopic effect. We also found that the width of bands at 5797 and 6614 A probably is more sensitive to the temperature (and density) effects than that of other DIBs in the sample, though almost all diffuse bands are narrowest in most ζ -type object (HD 179406) of the sample. On the other hand, it can be just peculiar effect as in a case of unusual line of sight HD 147889 which demonstrates very broad 5780 and 6614 A diffuse bands what hardly can be explained by temperature effects.
