The JWST Proto-PAH project: Aromatic backbones with extensive aliphatic substitution account for both the aromatic and aliphatic emission

N. Clark, E. Peeters, J. Cami +18

We find that the aromatic and aliphatic emission bands in four carbon-rich post-asymptotic giant branch stars with class D emission arise from a single carrier population: extensiv…

The JWST Proto-PAH project. Computational modeling of the emission carriers

A. Ricca, G. C. Sloan, E. Peeters +8

The infrared spectra of many carbon-rich post-asymptotic giant branch stars are dominated by emission features from aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, but the chemical structure…

The JWST Proto-PAH Project: Detection of the methyl radical CH in the highly evolved C-rich object SMP LMC 011

Jialu Li, D. A. García-Hernández, A. Manchado +17

We report the first detection of the neutral methyl radical CH in a highly evolved C-rich object, SMP LMC 011, using JWST MIRI/MRS. CH is well fitted by an excitation tempe…

MUSE Imaging Spectroscopy of the Fullerene Planetary Nebula Tc 1

J. R. Walsh, M. J. Barlow, A. Monreal-Ibero +6

The planetary nebula Tc 1 (PN G345.2 -08.8), one of the rare group of Galactic PNe showing fullerene emission in the infrared, was observed with MUSE wide field mode with adaptive…

Detection of C Combination Bands in the Near-IR Spectrum of Tc 1

Morgan M. Giese, Vincent J. Esposito, Simon Van Schuylenbergh +26

We report the detection of a set of new near-infrared emission features between 3.5 and 5.2 m in JWST/NIRSpec observations of Tc 1, the planetary nebula known for displaying the…

Mid-infrared JWST spectra of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud

G. C. Sloan, B. Aringer, Kathleen E. Kraemer +11

Mid-infrared spectra from the Medium Resolution Spectrometer on the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed the molecular chemistry of carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud w…
