TL;DR
This study provides laboratory spectra of fullerenes, fulleranes, and PAHs across UV, visible, and near-infrared ranges to aid in their identification in space.
Contribution
It presents new laboratory spectra of various fullerenes, fulleranes, and PAHs in multiple spectral ranges for astrophysical applications.
Findings
Spectra of fullerenes C60, C70, C76, C78, C84 characterized in UV and visible ranges.
Radical cation spectra of fullerenes and PAHs studied in near-infrared.
Data can be used for detecting these molecules in space environments.
Abstract
The spectra of fullerenes C60 and C70, higher fullerenes C76, C78 and C84 and hydrogenated fullerenes (fulleranes) were studied in laboratory in the UV and in the visible spectral range and could be used for searching and recognizing these molecules in space. Furthermore, the radical cation spectra of all the mentioned fullerene series and also of a series of large and very large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were generated in laboratory and studied in the near infrared spectral range.
