Abstract
Stellar spectroscopic surveys may bring useful statistical information on the links between Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs) and interstellar environment. DIB databases can also be used as a complementary tool for locating interstellar (IS) clouds. Our goal is to develop fully automated methods of DIB measurements to be applied to extensive data from stellar surveys. We present a method appropriate for early-type nearby stars, its application to high-resolution spectra of 130 targets recorded with ESO FEROS spectrograph, and comparisons with other determinations. Using a DIB average profile deduced from the most reddened stars, we performed an automated fitting of a combination of a smooth stellar continuum, the DIB profile, and, when necessary, a synthetic telluric transmission. Measurements are presented for 16 DIBs in the optical domain that could be extracted automatically: 4726.8, 4762.6, 4963.9, 5780.4, 5797.1, 5849.8, 6089.8, 6196.0, 6203.0-6204.5, 6269.8, 6283.8, 6379.3, 6445.3, 6613.6, 6660.7, and 6699.3 Å.
