Dust and Infrared Polarization Signatures
An outline is presented of observations and interpretations of polarization in the near and mid-infrared. Grain alignment occurs in the diffuse interstellar medium, in dense and massive molecular clouds and in HII regions as well as the boundaries of diffuse quiescent clouds; the resulting polarization displays features due to thermal excitation of molecular bonds and these are discussed in ter...
متن کاملLow-temperature infrared properties of cosmic dust analogues
Cosmic dust analogue materials including amorphous and crystalline silicates, ferrous oxide, and iron sulfide have been studied by reflectance spectroscopy of bulk surfaces as well as by transmission spectroscopy of particulates at temperatures down to 10 K. From the reflectance measurements optical data have been derived. The spectra show a sharpening and strengthening of the vibrational bands...
متن کاملThe Role of Dust in Producing the Cosmic Infrared Background
The extragalactic background light (EBL), exclusive of the cosmic microwave background, consists of the cumulative radiative output from all energy sources in the universe since the epoch of recombination. Most of this energy is released at ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. However, observations show that a significant fraction of the EBL falls in the 10 to 1000 μm wavelength regime. This pr...
متن کاملDust Vs . Cosmic Acceleration
Two groups have recently discovered a statistically significant deviation in the fluxes of high-redshift type Ia supernovae from the predictions of a Friedmann model with zero cosmological constant. In this Letter, I argue that bright, dusty, starburst galaxies would preferentially eject a dust component with a shallower opacity curve (hence less reddening) and a higher opacity/mass than the ob...
متن کاملSignatures of cosmic tau – neutrinos
The importance and signatures of cosmic tau–(anti)neutrinos have been studied for upward– and downward–going µ − + µ + and hadronic shower event rates relevant for present and future underground water or ice detectors, utilizing the unique and reliable ultrasmall–x predictions of the dynamical (radiative) parton model. Cosmic ν τ + ¯ ν τ fluxes, together with their associated τ − + τ + fluxes, ...
