JWST observations find constant ~1% PAH abundance in the M82 superwind to 5 kpc, consistent with shielding in surface layers of cool clouds and possible replenishment.
Experiments identify acenaphthene derivatives from C11H9+ reactivity with methylated naphthalenes and link them to efficient formation of acenaphthylene-like species in cold clouds.
Aliphatic side chains on PAHs shift certain infrared band intensity ratios, especially in small molecules, which can mislead ionization-state estimates, though the main diagnostic grid still applies with possible calibration.
The document records key conclusions, challenges, and open questions from discussion sessions at a 2025 conference focused on interstellar, circumstellar, and galactic dust with emphasis on JWST and ALMA results.
