Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in the 15–21 Micron Region
Observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope have drawn attention to spectroscopic structure longward of 15 mm that is associated with objects showing prominent unidentified infrared (UIR) bands in the mid-IR. If polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are indeed responsible for the UIR features, longer wavelength emission arising from out-of-plane PAH skeletal vibrations is required. Here we ...
متن کاملPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission in powerful high-redshift radio galaxies
We present the mid-infrared (IR) spectra of seven of the most powerful radio-galaxies known to exist at 1.5< z< 2.6. The radio emission of these sources is dominated by the AGN with 500 MHz luminosities in the range 1027.8–1029.1 W Hz−1. The AGN signature is clearly evident in the mid-IR spectra; however, we also detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission, indicative of prodigious star for...
متن کاملPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon selected galaxies
Context. This is the fourth in a series of papers based on the ISOCAM Parallel Survey at 6.7 μm. While the first three papers have been devoted to active galactic nuclei (AGN), here we report on emission-line galaxies without AGN signatures in their optical spectra. Aims. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission has been found in both starbursts and modestly starforming galaxies, but the ...
متن کاملBiological effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are included in various environmental pollutants such as airborne particles and have been reported to induce a variety of toxic effects. On the other hand, PAH derivatives are generated from PAHs both through chemical reaction in the atmosphere and metabolism in the body.PAH derivatives have become known for their specific toxicities such as estrogenic/an...
متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Far-infrared Spectroscopy
The far-IR characteristics of astrophysically relevant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) averaging in size around 100 carbon atoms have been studied using the theoretical spectra in the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database. These spectra were calculated using density functional theory. Selections of PAH species are made, grouped together by common characteristics or trends, such as siz...
