Resolution of the 7.7 micrometers emission feature in NGC 7027

  • 1. Lick Observatory, Santa Cruz, CA

Description

The unidentified infrared (UIR) features are a group of emission bands observed in a variety of objects, which can be characterized as having moderate density gas (densities from 1000 to 1,000,000/cu.cm.) and a nearby ultraviolet source. The origin of the features is still uncertain, but the current evidence points to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as the source of the UIR features. Problems with identifying PAHs as the source of the UIR features are discussed
