Blue luminescence (BL) has been observed in various astrophysical environments, such as the inner region of the Red Rectangle Nebula. It has been previously linked to small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this study, we explore the potential of N- and O-doped graphene material as carriers of BL...
