Small PAHs in the Red Rectangle
Uma P. Vijh, Adolf N. Witt, Karl D. Gordon
Following our initial discovery of blue luminescence in the spectrum of the Red Rectangle (RR) and its identification as fluorescence by small three- to four-ringed polycyclic arom…
Dust Attenuation in Late-Type Galaxies. I. Effects on Bulge and Disk Components
D. Pierini, K. D. Gordon, A. N. Witt +1
We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Mil…
Discovery of Blue Luminescence in the Red Rectangle: Possible Fluorescence from Neutral Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Molecules?
Uma P. Vijh, Adolf N. Witt, Karl D. Gordon
Here we report our discovery of a band of blue luminescence (BL) in the Red Rectangle (RR) nebula. This enigmatic proto-planetary nebula is also one of the brightest known sources…
