AEGIS: Infrared spectroscopy of an infrared-luminous lyman break galaxy at z = 3.01

We report the detection of rest-frame 6.2 and 7.7 μm emission features arising from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Spitzer IRS spectrum of an infrared-luminous Lyman break galaxy at z = 3.01. This is currently the highest redshift galaxy where these PAH emission features have been de...
