Scientific paper

In the diffuse interstellar medium a molecule experiences isolation conditions that cannot (yet?) be achieved in the laboratory. In such conditions its rotation is dominated by the interaction with the radiation field through a complex statistical equilibrium. This problem has been analyzed numerically with MonteCarlo techniques, for a simplified PAH molecule model. As a possible application, the result has been used to calculate rotational profiles of absorption bands, suitable for direct comparison with observed molecular bands profiles.
