===== 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.
