Unexplained Spectral Phenomena in the ISM
This Topical Collection is focused on the investigation of spectral phenomena, that even though are pervasively observed in a range of astrophysical environments, remained unidentified after decades of observations. The understanding of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and other spectral features remain some of the key challenges to explain the signature of organic materials in the interstellar medium.
