Interstellar Aromatic Infrared Bands: IR absorption spectroscopy of the lowest triplet state of naphthalene

Priyanka Arvind Paunikar, Hugo Maurer, Lars Reems +5

The aromatic infrared bands (AIBs), emission features observed ubiquitously across a wide variety of interstellar objects, are commonly attributed to radiative cooling of highly-ex…

Quantitative agreement between experiment and theory for Vibrational Circular Dichroism enhanced by electronically excited states

Mariia Sapova, Chandan Kumar, Sahar Ashtari-Jafari +2

Intensity enhancement in vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) arises in open-shell transition metal complexes from coupling between ground-state vibrational transitions and magneti…

The Infrared Absorption Spectrum of Phenylacetylene and its Deuterated Isotopologue in the Mid- to Far-IR

Vincent J. Esposito, Piero Ferrari, Wybren Jan Buma +4

Anharmonicity strongly influences the absorption and emission spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. Here, IR-UV ion-dip spectroscopy experiments together with…

Photolysis-induced scrambling of PAHs as a mechanism for deuterium storage

S. D. Wiersma, A. Candian, J. M. Bakker +4

Aim. We investigate the role of PAHs as a sink for deuterium in the interstellar medium and study UV photolysis as a potential process in the variations of the deuterium fractionat…

Anharmonicity in the mid-infrared spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Molecular beam spectroscopy and calculations

A. K. Lemmens, D. B. Rap, J. M. M. Thunnissen +5

Aims. In this work we determine the effects of anharmonicity on the mid-infrared spectra of the linear polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene an…

Circular spectropolarimetric sensing of vegetation in the field; possibilities for the remote detection of extraterrestrial life

C. H. Lucas Patty, Inge Loes ten Kate, Wybren Jan Buma +4

Homochirality is a generic and unique property of all biochemical life and the fractional circular polarization of light it induces therefore constitutes a potentially unambiguous…
