摘要
We have carried out the mid-infrared slit spectroscopic observations of sources in the LMC and in NGC 6946 with AKARI/IRC. We investigate the properties of the UIR bands in terms of the star forming activities. We find systematically larger ratios of UIR bands in 6-9 mu m to 11.2 mu m band in active star forming regions than in the quiet regions. This behaviour is consistent with the photo-ionization model of PAHs. Our results suggest that the ratios of UIR bands in 6-9 mu m to 11.2 mu m band can be used as more efficient and vigorous tools to measure the extent of on-going star formation in remote galaxies rather than just the presence or absence of the features themselves.
