The 24 μm image of the southwest region of the SMC bar at 6^{﹩\arcsec﹩} resolution, and the corresponding F₈/F₂₄ ratio, an estimator of PAH abundance. The units of the 24 μm intensity scale are MJy sr⁻¹, and the display is saturated in the bright regions to emphasize the low‐level emission. Regions with surface brightness below 0.2 MJy sr⁻¹ in either band are masked out of the ratio. There is an overall anticorrelation between bright 24 μm emission and large F₈/F₂₄ ratios. The region studied by Reach et al. (2000) where PAHs were detected by ISO toward the molecular cloud SMCB1‐1 is outlined by a rectangle (white in the 24 μm panel, black in the ratio panel). The area of high ratio within that region looks essentially identical to the 11.3 μm AIB map produced with ISO’s CVF, suggesting that the F₈/F₂₄ ratio is an excellent diagnostic of PAH abundance.
