Detection of interstellar 1-cyanopyrene: A four-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon | Science

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic molecules containing adjacent aromatic rings. Infrared emission bands show that PAHs are abundant in space, but only a few specific PAHs have been detected in the interstellar medium. We detect 1-...
