dc.description.abstract | The species responsible for the broad extended red emission (ERE), discovered in 1975 and now known to be widespread throughout the Galaxy, still is unidentified. Spanning the range from approximate to 540 to 900 nm, the ERE is a photoluminescent process associated with a wide variety of different interstellar environments. Over the years, a number of plausible candidates have been suggested, but subsequent observations ruled them out. The objects that present the ERE also emit the infrared features attributed to free polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, suggesting that closely related materials are plausible ERE carriers. Here, we show that the peculiar spectra and unique properties of closed-shell cationic PAH dimers satisfy the existing observational constraints and suggest that emission from mixtures of charged PAH clusters accounts for much of the ERE. This work provides a view into the structures, stabilities, abundances, and ionization balance of PAH-related species in the emission zones, which, in turn, reflects physical conditions in the emission zones and sheds fundamental light on the nanoscale processes involved in carbon-particle nucleation and growth and carbonaceous dust evolution in the interstellar medium. | - |
