We study, for the first time, the relations of two strong diffuse bands (DIBs) at 9633 and 9577~AA, commonly attributed to C$_{60}^+$, to other interstellar features seen in optical and UV spectra including H{sc i}, Ca{sc i}, Fe{sc ii}, Na{sc i}, Ti{sc ii}, CN, CH, CH$^+$, and C$_2$ and DIBs 5780, 5797, 6196, 6269, 6284, and 6614. We analyzed 62 lines of sight where the stellar contamination by Mg{sc ii} was corrected or found negligible for DIB 9633. Equivalent widths of DIB 9577 were measured in 62 lines of sight. Poor mutual correlation between the strengths of the above features and the major diffuse bands (5780 and 5797) as well as with other DIBs (with some exceptions) were revealed. The considered DIBs are also poorly correlated with the features of neutral hydrogen, molecular carbon, and those of simple interstellar radicals. Perhaps this phenomenon can be explained if the diffuse band 9577 is an unresolved blend of two or more interstellar features. There are indications that 9633 and 9577 diffuse bands are stronger in $sigma$-type clouds, i.e. these features resemble the behavior of reasonably broad DIBs, which are strong in the lines of sight where the UV flux from the very hot nearby stars plays an important role.
The identification of the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) remains to be established, with the exception of five bands attributed to C60+, although it is generally agreed that DIB carriers should be large carbon-based molecules (with
Recently, the presence of fullerenes in the interstellar medium (ISM) has been confirmed especially with the first confirmed identification of two strong diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) with C60+. This justifies reassesing the importance of interst
We present the first sample of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the nearby galaxy M33. Studying DIBs in other galaxies allows the behaviour of the carriers to be examined under interstellar conditions which can be quite different from those of th
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
This paper considers a very special set of a few interstellar features --- broad diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) at 4430, 4882, 5450, 5779 and 6175 AAAA. The set is small, and measurements of equivalent widths of these DIBs are challenging because
