Carbon-rich dust past the asymptotic giant branch: aliphatics, aromatics, and fullerenes in the Magellanic Clouds
G. C. Sloan, E. Lagadec, A. A. Zijlstra +10
Infrared spectra of carbon-rich objects which have evolved off the asymptotic giant branch reveal a range of dust properties, including fullerenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons…
Episodic Explosions in Interstellar Ices
J. M. C. Rawlings, D. A. Williams, S. Viti +1
We present a model for the formation of large organic molecules in dark clouds. The molecules are produced in the high density gas-phase that exists immediately after ice mantles a…
The 217.5 nm band, infrared absorption and infrared emission features in hydrogenated amorphous carbon nanoparticles
W. W. Duley, Anming Hu
We report on the preparation of hydrogenated amorphous carbon nano-particles whose spectral characteristics include an absorption band at 217.5 nm with the profile and characterist…
Fullerenes and proto-fullerenes in interstellar carbon dust
Walter W. Duley, Anming Hu
Laboratory spectra of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) particles prepared under a variety of conditions show spectral features at 7.05, 8.5, 17.4 and 18.9 μm (1418, 1176, 575 &…
Excitation of the aromatic infrared emission bands: Chemical energy in hydrogenated amorphous carbon particles?
Walter W. Duley, David A. Williams
We outline a model for the heating of hydrogenated amorphous (HAC) dust via the release of stored chemical energy and show that this energy (~12 kJ/mole) is sufficient to heat dust…
