Searching for interstellar C60+ using a new method for high signal-to-noise HST/STIS spectroscopy
Due to recent advances in laboratory spectroscopy, the first optical detection of a very large molecule has been claimed in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM): ${{\rm{C}}}_{60}^{+}$ (ionized Buckminsterfullerene). Confirming the presence of this molecule would have significant implications regard...
