PDRs4All: XVIII. The evolution of the PAH ionisation and PAH size distribution across the Orion Bar
Alexandros Maragkoudakis, Christiaan Boersma, Els Peeters +25
We investigate the evolution of the PAH population's charge state and size across key physical zones in the Orion Bar, which include the HII region, the atomic PDR (APDR), and thre…
PDRs4All XIX. The 6 to 9 m region as a probe of PAH charge and size in the Orion Bar
Baria Khan, Samuel A. Daza Rodriguez, Els Peeters +24
Infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) play a major role in determining the charge balance of their host environments that include photo-dissociation region…
A sensitivity analysis of the modeling of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon emission in galaxies
Alexandros Maragkoudakis, Christiaan Boersma, Pasquale Temi +5
We have conducted a sensitivity analysis on the mid-infrared spectral decomposition of galaxies and the modeling of the PAH emission spectrum with the NASA Ames PAH Infrared Spectr…
Probing the size and charge of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
A. Maragkoudakis, E. Peeters, A. Ricca
We present a new method to accurately describe the ionization fraction and the size distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) within astrophysical sources. To this pu…
