Interstellar Dust Grains
This review surveys the observed properties of interstellar dust grains: the wavelength-dependent extinction of starlight, including absorption features, from UV to infrared; optical luminescence; infrared emission; microwave emission; optical, UV, and X-ray scattering by dust; and polarization of starlight and of infrared emission. The relationship between presolar grains in meteorites and the...
متن کاملConstraining the Porosities of Interstellar Dust Grains
We present theoretical calculations of the X-ray scattering properties of porous grain aggregates with olivine monomers. The small and large angle scattering properties of these aggregates are governed by the global structure and substructure of the grain, respectively. We construct two diagnostics, RX and TX, based on the optical and X-ray properties of the aggregates, and apply them to a Chan...
متن کاملTemperature fluctuations of interstellar dust grains
The temperatures of interstellar dust grains are analyzed using stochastic simulations, taking into account the grain composition and size and the discreteness of the photon flux. Grains of radii smaller than about 0.02 μm are found to exhibit large temperature fluctuations with narrow spikes following the absorption of UV photons. The temperatures of such grains may rise by a few × 10 K for ve...
متن کاملH 2 formation on interstellar dust grains : The viewpoints of theory , experiments , models and observations
Molecular hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the universe. It is the first one to form and survive photo-dissociation in tenuous environments. Its formation involves catalytic reactions on the surface of interstellar grains. The micro-physics of the formation process has been investigated intensively in the last 20 years, in parallel of new astrophysical observational and modeling progre...
متن کاملInterstellar Extinction by Spheroidal Dust Grains
Observations of interstellar extinction and polarization indicate that the interstellar medium consists of aligned non-spherical dust grains which show variation in the interstellar extinction curve for wavelengths ranging from NIR to UV. To model the extinction and polarization, one cannot use the conventional Mie theory which assumes the grains as solid spheres. We have used a T-matrix based ...
