A Framework for Modeling Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Galaxy Evolution Simulations
We present a new methodology for simulating mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in galaxy evolution simulations.To do this, we combine theoretical models of PAH emission features as they respond to varying interstellar radiation fields, grain-size distributions, and ionization states with a new model for dust Collecto
