More interstellar emission features at 3.3-3.6 micrometers!The present data set consists of 3.20 to 3.55 micron spectra of HD44179, NGC 7027, BD+30 3639, and Elias 1 obtained with a cooled-grating array spectrometer (CGAS) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. Emission features and details of the emission feature profiles are presented for high resolution spectra. Greater complexity is shown than might be expected. It is significant that the 3.29 micron feature has an invariant central wavelength, even at high resolution, and this strongly supports the case for a very specific substance or mixture of substances which is giving rise to this feature.
