Abstract
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have been proposed as candidates to explain the Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs). We have performed laboratory measurements of coronene, using rare gas matrix isolation techniques and UV photolysis. Our aim was to search for a possible identification of the 4430 Å DIB, but also to provide data almost free from environmental band shifts and broadening, which can be used for astronomical identification of the species.
