Astronomical evolution mechanism of small size polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) was analyzed using the first principles quantum-chemical calculation. Starting model molecule was benzene (C6H6), which would be transformed to (C5H5) due to carbon void created by interstellar high speed proton attack. In a protoplanetary disk around a young star, molecules would be illuminated by high energy photon and ionized to be cationic-(C5H5). Calculation shows that from neutral to tri-cation, molecule keeps original configuration. At a step of sixth cation, there occurs surprising creation of cyclic-C3H2, which is the smallest PAH. Astronomical cyclic-C3H2 had been identified by radio astronomy. Deep photoionization of cyclic-C3H2 brings successive molecular change. Neutral and mono-cation keep cyclic configuration. At a step of di-cation, molecule was transformed to aliphatic chain-C3H2. Finally, chain-C3H2 was decomposed to pure carbon chain-C3 and two hydrogen atoms. Calculated infrared spectrum of those molecules was applied to observed spectrum of Herbig Ae young stars. Observed infrared spectrum could be partially explained by small molecules. Meanwhile, excellent coincidence was obtained by applying a larger molecules as like (C23H12)2+ or (C12H8)2+. Infrared observation is suitable for larger molecules and radio astronomy for smaller asymmetric molecules. It should be noted that these molecules could be identified in a natural way introducing two astronomical phenomena, that is, void-induced molecular deformation and deep photoionization.

Interstellar infrared observation shows featured spectrum due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)at wavelength 3.3,6.2,7.6,7.8,8.6,and 11.3 micrometer,which are ubiquitously observed in many astronomical dust clouds and galaxies. Our previous fi
rst principles calculation revieled that viod induced coronene (C23H12)2+ and circumcoronene (C53H18)1+ could reproduce such spectrum very well. In this study, quantum-mechanic origin was studied through atomic configuration change and atomic vibration mode analysis. By a high speed particle attack, carbon void would be introduced in PAH. Molecular configuration was deformed by the Jahn-Teller quantum effect. Carbon SP3 local bond was created among SP2 graphene like carbon network. Also, carbon tetrahedron local structure was created. Such peculiar structure is the quantum origin. Those metamorphosed molecules would be photo-ionized by the central star strong photon irradiation resulting cation molecules. Atomic vibration mode of cation molecule (C23H12)2+ was compared with that of neutral one (C23H12). At 3.3 micrometer, both molecules show show C-H stretching mode and give fairly large infrared intensity. At 6.2,7.6,7.8, and 8.6 micrometer bands, cation molecule show complex C-C stretching and shrinking mixing modes and remain large infrared emission. Whereas, neutral molecule gives harmonic motion, which cancelles each other resulting very small infrared intensity. At 11.3 micrometer, both neutral and cation molecules show C-H bending motion perpendicular to a molecular plane, which contributes to strong emission. Actual observed spectrum would be a sum of such quantum-mechanic origined molecules.
We report the detection of linear and cyclic isomers of C3H and C3H2 towards various starless cores and review the corresponding chemical pathways involving neutral (C3Hx with x=1,2) and ionic (C3Hx+ with x = 1,2,3) isomers. We highlight the role of
the branching ratio of electronic Dissociative Recombination (DR) reactions of C3H2+ and C3H3+ isomers showing that the statistical treatment of the relaxation of C3H* and C3H2* produced in these DR reactions may explain the relative c,l-C3H and c,l-C3H2 abundances. We have also introduced in the model the third isomer of C3H2 (HCCCH). The observed cyclic-to-linear C3H2 ratio vary from 110 + or - 30 for molecular clouds with a total density around 1e4 molecules.cm-3 to 30 + or - 10 for molecular clouds with a total density around 4e5 molecules.cm-3, a trend well reproduced with our updated model. The higher ratio for low molecular cloud densities is mainly determined by the importance of the H + l-C3H2 -> H + c-C3H2 and H + t-C3H2 -> H + c-C3H2 isomerization reactions.
We used the Nobeyama 45-m telescope to conduct a spectral line survey in the 3-mm band (85.1-98.4 GHz) toward one of the nearest galaxies with active galactic nucleus NGC 1068 and the prototypical starburst galaxy NGC 253. The beam size of this teles
cope is ~18, which was sufficient to spatially separate the nuclear molecular emission from the emission of the circumnuclear starburst region in NGC 1068. We detected rotational transitions of C2H, cyclic-C3H2, and H13CN in NGC 1068. These are detections of carbon-chain and carbon-ring molecules in NGC 1068. In addition, the C2H N = 1-0 lines were detected in NGC 253. The column densities of C2H were determined to be 3.4 x 10^15 cm^-2 in NGC 1068 and 1.8 x 10^15 cm^-2 in NGC 253. The column densities of cyclic-C3H2 were determined to be 1.7 x 10^13 cm^-2 in NGC 1068 and 4.4 x 10^13 cm^-2 in NGC 253. We calculated the abundances of these molecules relative to CS for both NGC 1068 and NGC 253, and found that there were no significant differences in the abundances between the two galaxies. This result suggests that the basic carbon-containing molecules are either insusceptible to AGN, or are tracing cold (T_rot ~10 K) molecular gas rather than X-ray irradiated hot gas.
Astronomical dust molecule of carbon-rich nebula-Lin49 and nebula-Tc1 could be identified to be polycyclic-pure-carbon C23 by the quantum-chemical calculation. Two driving forces were assumed. One is high speed proton attack on coronene-C24H12, which
created void-induced C23H12. Another is high energy photon irradiation, which brought deep photo-ionization and finally caused dehydrogenation to be C23. Infrared spectrum calculation show that a set of ionized C23 (neutral, mono, and di-cation) could reproduce observed many peaks of 28 bands at wavelength from 6 to 38 micrometer. Previously predicted neutral fullerene-C60 could partially reproduce observed spectrum by 5 bands. Also, we tried calculation on ionized-C60, which show fairly good coincidence with observed 10 bands
(Abridged) We have observed velocity resolved spectra of four ro-vibrational far-infrared transitions of C3 between the vibrational ground state and the low-energy nu2 bending mode at frequencies between 1654--1897 GHz using HIFI on board Herschel, i
n DR21(OH), a high mass star forming region. Several transitions of CCH and c-C3H2 have also been observed with HIFI and the IRAM 30m telescope. A gas and grain warm-up model was used to identify the primary C3 forming reactions in DR21(OH). We have detected C3 in absorption in four far-infrared transitions, P(4), P(10), Q(2) and Q(4). The continuum sources MM1 and MM2 in DR21(OH) though spatially unresolved, are sufficiently separated in velocity to be identified in the C3 spectra. All C3 transitions are detected from the embedded source MM2 and the surrounding envelope, whereas only Q(4) & P(4) are detected toward the hot core MM1. The abundance of C3 in the envelope and MM2 is sim6x10^{-10} and sim3x10^{-9} respectively. For CCH and c-C3H2 we only detect emission from the envelope and MM1. The observed CCH, C3, and c-C3H2 abundances are most consistent with a chemical model with n(H2)sim5x10^{6} cm^-3 post-warm-up dust temperature, T_max =30 K and a time of sim0.7-3 Myr. Post warm-up gas phase chemistry of CH4 released from the grain at tsim 0.2 Myr and lasting for 1 Myr can explain the observed C3 abundance in the envelope of DR21(OH) and no mechanism involving photodestruction of PAH molecules is required. The chemistry in the envelope is similar to the warm carbon chain chemistry (WCCC) found in lukewarm corinos. The observed lower C3 abundance in MM1 as compared to MM2 and the envelope could be indicative of destruction of C3 in the more evolved MM1. The timescale for the chemistry derived for the envelope is consistent with the dynamical timescale of 2 Myr derived for DR21(OH) in other studies.
