Spitzer Space Telescope - Guaranteed Time Observer Proposal #93


Survey of PAH Emission, 10-19.5 um

Principal Investigator: Dale Cruikshank
           Institution: NASA-Ames

Science Category: evolved stars/pn/sne 
 Observing Modes: IrsStare 
  Hours Approved: 15.2 

Abstract:
A survey of the emission bands in the region 10-19.5 um, in planetary
nebulae, proto-planetary objects, YSOs/HII regions, and related
sources.  The study will focus on the emission band at 16.4 um,
attributed to PAHs, and will include the plateau of emission that
extends from 15 um to the long wavelength limit of the Short-High IRS
module.
