8 Interaction of PAHs with UV photons Account for the Aromatic Infrared Bands - Léger & Puget A&A (1984) ; Allamandola et al. ApJ (1985) Account for most (all?) of the UV bump at 220 nm and non-linear far-uv rise of the extinction curve - Joblin et al. ApJ (1992); Cecchi-Pestellini et al. A&A Let. (2008); Steglich et al., ApJ 712, L16 (2010) Good carriers for the Diffuse Interstellar Bands - Léger & d Hendecourt A&A (1985),... Main contributor to the photoelectric heating of the gas - Bakes & Tielens. ApJ (1994) Could help traditional dust grains in promoting H 2 formation - Habart et al., A&A 414, 531 (2004) - Bauschlicher, ApJ 509, L125 (1998) Could produce other observed features such as the Blue Luminescence (by electronic fluorescence) and the Extended Red Emission (by phosphorescence). Compared to other molecules, PAHs have a remarkable stability against photodissociation
9 Photophysics of an isolated PAH / IR emission Ex: reflection nebula: <hν UV > = 10 ev Go=10 3 (1 Go =10 8 photons cm -2 s -1 ) The stochastic heating and slow IR emission... Typical timescales for IS PAH: Absorption of a UV-Vis photon every 10 hours Emission of a pure rotational photon once a year Collisions with dominant species once in 20 days Joblin et al. (2002), Mol. Phys. 100(22), 3595 Importance of the events involving IR cooling: dissociation in competition with IR cooling, radiative association

12 Statistical theories rate Cte for fragmentation Rate constant for fragmentation: The characteristic timescale for dissociation T disso depends on the internal energy (or temperature), on the dissociation energy and on the number of degrees of freedom role of the density of states Density of states ρ(e) = dn(e) de Microcanonical ensemble: enthropy / temperature S(E) = k B ln(ρ(e) 1 T(E) = S(E) E Canonical ensemble: C V (T) = E T
13 Unimolecular dissociation - RRKM Theory Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel and Marcus Arrhenius equation: k(t) = A e E a/rt RRKM equation: k(e) = σ N (E,E 0,R*) h ρ(e) k(t) k 4 3 k 2 k 1 k(e) M Simplified formalism: Boissel et al.

14 Density of quantum states (DOS) For g harmonic oscillators that are not coupled g E({n}) = ω i (n i 1 2 ) i=1 with {n} the vibrational quantum numbers The discretisation of the energy density of states can be defined Counting using the Beyer- Swinehart (1973) algorithm. Ex. calculations for C 24 H 12 Mulas et al. 2006, A&A 460, 93 More sophisticated calculations to derive the anharmonic DOS

16 Photodissociation at threshold: trapped PAHs under continuous irradiation of the Xe lamp Boissel et al., J. Chem. Phys. 106, 4973 (1997) Anthracene cation - C 14 H 10 hν abs = 1.78 ev k DISS k IR Sequential absorption of photons E thresh. Increase of internal energy a) Internal energy distribution for t irr = 3 s The ion dissociate for k diss (U) > k IR (U) at U > E threshold In the ISM where hν <13.6 ev and PAHs are larger than anthracene, photodissociation at thereshold is the dominant photodissociation process.
