The ongoing Gaia mission of ESA will provide accurate spatial and kinematical information for a large fraction of stars in the Galaxy. Interstellar extinction and line absorption studies toward a large number of stars at different distances and directions can give a 3-dimensional distribution map of interstellar absorbers, and thus reach a similar spatial perfection. Under certain morphologies (e.g. geometrically thin absorption curtains) one can infer a complete velocity vector from its radial velocity component and so obtain a dynamical information comparable to stars. But observations of a large number of stars at different distances are needed to determine the location of the absorption pockets. Therefore, techniques to measure interstellar absorptions towards (abundant) cool stars are needed. A complex mix of colliding absorption clouds is found in the Galactic plane. Thus, one would wish to start with deep observations to detect the weak, but simpler interstellar absorptions at high Galactic latitudes. Finally, interstellar atomic line absorption studies toward cool stars in the optical are largely limited to Sodium and Potassium doublets, not covered by many surveys, including Gaia. Diffuse interstellar bands can give the same type of information as interstellar atomic absorption lines. A combination of both may also point to differences in dynamics of different components of the interstellar medium. In particular, the Gaia DIB at 862 nm can be used to build absorption maps, as already demonstrated by RAVE. Additionally, several ground-based surveys (e.g APOGEE, Gaia-ESO and Galah) are upgrading this approach. The use of this new information can change our understanding in many areas (e.g. determination of membership of stars in clusters, studies of a few Myr old supernova remnants and investigations of Galactic fountains).
Context: Open clusters are ideal laboratories to investigate a variety of astrophysical topics, from the properties of the Galactic disk to stellar evolutionary models. Knowing their metallicity and possibly detailed chemical abundances is therefore
Current ongoing stellar spectroscopic surveys (RAVE, GALAH, Gaia-ESO, LAMOST, APOGEE, Gaia) are mostly devoted to studying Galactic archaeology and structure of the Galaxy. But they allow for important auxiliary science: (i) Galactic interstellar med
We perform a multiwavelength study toward the SNR G18.1-0.1 and nearby several HII regions (infrared dust bubbles N21 and N22, and the HII regions G018.149-00.283 and G18.197-00.181). Our goal is to provide observational evidence supporting that mass
Evolved stars near the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) show solar-like oscillations with periods spanning hours to months and amplitudes ranging from $sim$1 mmag to $sim$100 mmag. The systematic detection of the resulting photometric variations wi
With the use of the data from archives, we studied the correlations between the equivalent widths of four diffuse interstellar bands (4430$r{A}$, 5780$r{A}$, 5797$r{A}$, 6284$r{A}$) and properties of the target stars (colour excess values, distances
