Resumen:
In this poster we show our preliminary analysis of DIBs (Diffuse
Interstellar Bands) and other interstellar absorption lines with the
purpose of understanding their origin and their relationship with
extinction. We use the biggest Galactic O-star blue-violet spectroscopic
sample ever (GOSSS, see Maíz Apellániz, these
proceedings). This sample allows a new insight on this topic because of
the adequacy of O-star spectra, the sample number (700 by early 2010 and
increasing; 400 are used here), and their distribution in the Milky Way
disk. We confirm the high correlation coefficients between different
DIBs and E(B-V), though the detailed behavior of each case shows small
differences. We also detect a moderately low correlation coefficient
between CaII lambda 3934 (Ca K) and E(B-V) with a peculiar spatial
distribution that we ascribe to the relationship between line saturation
and velocity profiles for CaII lambda 3934.
