Laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate the temperature dependence of the absorption spectrum of the coronene molecule (C24H12), believed to be representative of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules present in the interstellar medium. The main result is that both line positions and total intensities are almost unchanged when varying the temperature so that the spectrum is mostly temperature-independent in the explored range, supporting the modeling of the IR emission originally made by Leger and Puget (1984) where room temperature was used in the calculations. In the structure of the band shape, small temperature-correlated changes are observed. Qualitative arguments are given to interpret them.
