-COSMIC PAH DESCRIPTION
+===== COSMIC PAH portal =====
+==== Description ====
+Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and related molecular species (e.g. fullerenes) are key species in astrophysical environments.
+The primary objective of the Cosmic PAH portal is to ease access to databases and tools
+in order to:\\
+  * **Identify** these species in astrophysical environments and in extraterrestrial samples.
+  * **Understand** their formation pathways and their link with related molecular species such as carbon clusters and fullerenes.
+  * **Model** their evolution in astrophysical environments and their impact on the physical and chemical conditions.
+==== Link content ====
+  * **Molecular databases** developed by the team, both theoretical and experimental.
+  * **Simulated spectra databases** for PAH infrared emission in various astrophysical environments.
+  * **Spectral analysis tools** to analyze in a consistent way spectra from experiments, theoretical simulations, and astrophysical observations.
+  * **Tools to model spectra** in astrophysical environments using experimental and theoretical data.
