Aliphatics and Aromatics in the Universe: The Pre-JWST Era
The so-called “unidentified infrared emission” (UIE) features at 3.3, 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, and 11.3 μ m ubiquitously seen in a wide variety of astrophysical regions are generally attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. Astronomical PAHs often have an aliphatic component (e.g., aliph...
