Scientific paper

The results of a systematic investigation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) emission in HII, planetary nebulae and proto-planetary nebulae, are reported. Data is obtained from the low resolution spectra of the Infrared Astronomy Satellite. The results show that: PAHs are formed in carbon rich evolved objects; PAHs emission is ubiquitous in general interstellar medium and requires the presence of ultraviolet photons, in planetary and proto-planetary nebulae, PAHs emission is seen only where an ionizing flux is present and in carbon rich objects.
