GAS-PHASE ABSORPTIONS OF C+60: A NEW COMPARISON WITH ASTRONOMICAL MEASUREMENTS

Campbell et al. recently revised, by a few tenths of an angstrom, the wavelengths for their low-temperature laboratory measurements of fullerene C-60(+) bands. This accounts for the perturbation caused by the He atom to the C-60(+)-He spectrum. Here, we demonstrate that the revised laboratory wavelengths improve coincidence with the 9632, 9577, 9428, 9365, and 9348 diffuse interstellar bands detected towards the stars HD 46711, HD 169454, and HD 183143.
