The mystery of unidentified infrared emission bands

A family of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands has been observed throughout the Universe. The current observed spectral properties of the UIE bands are summarized. These properties are discussed in the frameworks of different models of the chemical carriers of these bands. The UIE carriers r...

description A family of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands has been observed throughout the Universe. The current observed spectral properties of the UIE bands are summarized. These properties are discussed in the frameworks of different models of the chemical carriers of these bands. The UIE carriers represent a large reservoir of carbon in the Universe, and play a significant role in the physical and chemical processes in the interstellar medium and galactic environment. A correct identification of the carrier of the UIE bands is needed to use these bands as probes of galactic evolution.
