Abstract
The emission spectra of the gaseous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene, chrysene, and pyrene were recorded in the far-infrared (far-IR) region. The vibrational bands that lie in the far IR are unique for each PAH molecule and allow discrimination among the three PAH molecules. The far-IR PAH spectra, therefore, may prove useful in the assignment of unidentified spectral features from astronomical objects.Keywords
