This paper presents a detailed analysis of infrared (IR) emission from interstellar dust, focusing on the silicate-graphite-polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) model. The study updates the IR absorption properties of PAHs, incorporating new data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. The model is constrained to reproduce the average Milky Way extinction curve and includes the effects of single-photon heating. The results show that the 7.7 μm emission feature is primarily produced by PAH particles with fewer than 10³ carbon atoms. The emission spectrum is shown to depend on the starlight intensity relative to the local interstellar radiation field (U). The paper also presents a method for estimating parameters such as PAH mass fraction, starlight intensity distribution, and total dust mass using Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry. The model is validated against observed emission from the local interstellar medium and is shown to reproduce the observed far-IR and submm emission from the Milky Way. The study also discusses the impact of PAH size on emission features and the role of different grain compositions in determining the IR emission spectrum. The results are used to estimate the parameters of the dust model and to interpret IRAC and MIPS observations. The paper concludes that the silicate-graphite-PAH model is a useful tool for understanding the IR emission from interstellar dust in galaxies.This paper presents a detailed analysis of infrared (IR) emission from interstellar dust, focusing on the silicate-graphite-polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) model.
