Fig. 3: Excitation energy distributions for different fragments.
From: Survival of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon knockout fragments in the interstellar medium
The values were obtained from our MD simulations of coronene molecules colliding with He atoms at a center-of-mass energy of 105 eV. The median of each distribution (\({\hat{E}}_{{{\mbox{exc}}}}\)) is given in the legend and indicated by an arrow in the corresponding color at the top of the figure. The error bars represent the 1σ statistical uncertainties of each bin. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
