TOOLS
* PAHTAT
** Description **
The PAHTAT tool aims to analyze astronomical mid-infrared spectra containing PAH emission. It uses spectral templates that were derived from observations. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201015915

* mMass_updated
** Description **
mMass_updated is a modified version ofmMass| with new functionalities such as double bond equivalent calculation and separation into families of compounds (compatible with 64-bit MacOS). More
** Tool access **
planned in 2022
* Qchitool
** Description **
QChITool is a web application for easy extraction of information from the log files of some quantum chemistry calculations, and import in the theoretical PAH database. More
** Tool access **
https://qchitool-pah.oa-cagliari.inaf.it (restricted use of the tool to add data to the PAH database)
* cosmicPAHmfit
** Description **
cosmicPAHmfit is a python fitting tool. It performs a multi-component fit of the selected spectral feature using pseudo-Voigt functions (linear combination of a Gaussian curve and of a Lorentzian curve modified by an asymmetry factor). It computes the area-weighed peak position and width of the feature. It has a graphical interface to select the spectral feature of interest as well as the number of components to be included in the fit.
** Tool access **
planned in 2022
* AIBsimulator
** Description **
Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs) observed in astronomical environments are generally attributed to emission from PAHs excited by UV photons from stars. The AIBsimulator is a simulator for a fast calculation of the emission of a given PAH in a given radiation field. The simulator will provide a library of synthetic AIB spectra based on theoretical and experimental molecular data, at the accuracy and sensitivity level required to match coming James Webb Space Telescope observations.
