Abstract: | Fluorescence spectra of naphthalene, C10H8, were obtained in the laboratory under conditions which provide an appropriate simulation of the cometary conditions: super-cooled
gas phase molecules in a collision-free environment. Five spectra were recorded, the excitation energies ranging from 1422
to 5293 cm−1 above the first electronic state S1 at 32 020 cm−1. A comparison with previous jet-cooled naphthalene fluorescence spectra obtained by Beck et al. 1] and Hermine 2] shows that the former results are not consistent with the present ones. Spectra obtained by Beck et al. show weaker intensities at greater wavelengths compared to those obtained by Hermine and ourselves. We also measured the
fluorescence lifetimes by recording the fluorescence decay as a function of time after the excitation of the molecules by
monochromatic lasers and deduced the fluorescence quantum yields. A synthetic emission spectrum under solar irradiation is
obtained for astrophysical implications. |
