Large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules carry the infrared (IR) emission
features that dominate the spectra of most galactic and extragalactic sources. This review …

IR emission spectra are calculated for dust heated by starlight, for mixtures of amorphous
silicate and graphitic grains, including varying amounts of PAH particles. The models are …

The fullerene C 60 has four infrared-active vibrational transitions at 7.0, 8.5, 17.4, and 18.9
μm. We have previously observed emission features at 17.4 and 18.9 μm in the reflection …

The astronomical emission features, formerly known as the unidentified infrared bands, are
now commonly ascribed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The laboratory …

Context. Various studies have emphasised variations in the charge state and composition of
the interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) population in photodissociation …

The mid-and the far-infrared spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been
computed using density functional theory. This study has focused on PAHs in the highly …

The astronomical emission features, formerly known as the unidentified infrared bands, are
now commonly ascribed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The laboratory …

Abstract The Space Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) is planned
to be the next space astronomy mission observing in the infrared. The mission is planned to …

We present a systematic theoretical study of the five smallest oligoacenes (naphthalene,
anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, and hexacene) in their anionic, neutral, cationic, and …

Context. The properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (aC: H) dust are known to
evolve in response to the local conditions. Aims. We present an adaptable model for the …
