Ehrenfreund Title: Spectroscopy of large PAHs - Laboratory studies and comparison to the Diffuse Interstellar Bands Journal/Source: Astronomy & Astrophysics, 390, 1153-1170, (2002); DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20020478 Data: (diagram, table, disk): diagram, table Wavelength/Energy range: 200 - 1200 nm Resolution: 0.3 - 21.3 nm (FWHM) Temperature: 4 K Temperature dependence: Pressure: Comments: The spectrum of neutral hexabenzoperopyrene shows three band systems peaking at 236.0, 345.9, and 400.0 nm, respectively. VUV photolysis leads to the formation of three new absorption features that appear in the spectrum at 525.6 nm, 562.5 and 574.8 nm respectively.
