Dataset for article Photodissociation of aliphatic PAH derivatives under relevant astrophysical conditions

The experimental data are provided in subfolders by species, which contain each three files:<br> (i) the normalized intensities (Eq. 1 in the article) for the mass peaks corresponding to the parent cation and its fragments as a function of the VUV irradiation time,<br> (ii) the experimental error bars associated with these intensities,<br> (iii) the curves corresponding to the fitting functions that were derived with the procedure described in Sect. 2.4. Each folder is named by the parents species:<br> Pyr+ for pyrene (C16H10+),<br> H6-Pyr+ for 1,2,3,6,7,8-hexahydro-pyrene (C16H16+),<br> MePyr+ for 1-methylpyrene (C17H12+),<br> EtPyr+ for 4-ethyl-pyrene (C18H14+),<br> Cor+ for coronene (C24H12+),<br> MeCor+ for methyl-coronene (C25H14+),<br> EtCor+ for ethyl-coronene (C26H16+). In addition, the VUV_source folder contains the measurements corresponding to the VUV source calibration (see Fig. A.1 in the article appendix). The folder for TD-DFT calculations gathers the calculated photoabsorption cross-sections for all species of interest (see Fig. D.1 in the article appendix).
