The infrared evidence which supports the PAH hypothesis is briefly summarized. Rather than presenting a general discussion of these assignments, this paper focuses on the spectroscopic issues raised by recent observational and experimental developments. These issues include: the position and profile of the “1310” cm−1(“7.7” μm) feature, the position and intensities of the bands in the 910-710 cm−1(11-14 μm) region, the newly detected 1900 cm−1(5.3 μm) band, and the spatial and spectral variations in the 3000 cm−1(3 μm) region as well as in the 12 and 25 μm IRAS bands. It is concluded that the infrared evidence for interstellar PAHs and PAH-related species is compelling.

ABSTRACT Considered here is the interrelation between five diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), λλ 5545, 6113, 6196, 6445 and 6614 Å. Two DIBs (λλ 6196 and 6614 Å) are already known as being well correlated with each other; their relation with three other weaker bands is investigated for the first time. To accomplish this task, high-resolution spectra (λ/δλ ≈100 000) with high signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) of 54 hot O–B stars with reddening 0.12–1.45 mag were used. Analysis of measured equivalent widths has allowed us to establish linear dependences and evaluate linear correlation coefficients as high as 0.968–0.988 between the intensities of these five DIBs. Such a degree of correlation may indicate their common origin. Several spacings in wavenumbers found between these DIBs correspond to the energies of vibrational transitions in some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons resulting in IR emissions at λλ 16.4, 11.3, 7.7, 6.2 and 3.3 μm.
