Image Details
Caption: Fig. 15.
Normalized equivalent widths of the DIBs at 5780, 5797, and 6284 Å vs. the intensity of the ambient radiation field (IUV) inferred from the rotational excitation of H2. Circles denote LMC sight lines; triangles denote SMC sight lines; all other symbols are for Galactic sight lines (see Fig. 8). While the DIBs are generally weaker in the LMC and SMC, no significant trends with IUV are apparent in any of the three galaxies.
