The temperature of non - spherical interstellar grains
A model of spheroidal particles is used to calculate the steady-state temperature of dust grains immersed in the interstellar radiation field. It is found that the temperature of non-spherical grains with the aspect ratios a/b < ∼ 2 deviates from that of spheres less than 10 %. More elongated or flattened particles are usually cooler than spheres of the same mass and in some cases the temperatu...
متن کاملMultiple scattering of polarized radiation by non-spherical grains: first results
We present the first numerical radiative transfer simulation of multiple light scattering in dust configurations containing aligned non-spherical (spheroidal) dust grains. Such models are especially important if one wants to explain the circular polarization of light, observed in a variety of astronomical objects. The optical properties of the spheroidal grains are calculated using the method o...
متن کاملOptical , UV , and X - Ray Scattering by Interstellar Dust Grains
Scattering and absorption properties at optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths are calculated for an interstellar dust model consisting of carbonaceous grains and amorphous silicate grains. The widely-used Henyey-Greenstein phase function provides a good approximation for the scattering phase function at wavelengths between ∼0.4 and 1µm, but fails to fit the calculated phase functions at s...
متن کاملScattering by Interstellar Dust Grains . II . X - Rays
Scattering and absorption of X-rays by interstellar dust is calculated for a model consisting of carbonaceous grains and amorphous silicate grains. The calculations employ realistic dielectric functions with structure near X-ray absorption edges, with resulting features in absorption, scattering, and extinction. Differential scattering cross sections are calculated for energies between 0.3 and ...
متن کاملTest of Mie-based single-scattering properties of non-spherical dust aerosols in radiative flux calculations
We simulate the single-scattering properties (SSPs) of dust aerosols with both spheroidal and spherical shapes at a wavelength of 0.55mm for two refractive indices and four effective radii. Herein spheres are defined by preserving both projected area and volume of a non-spherical particle. It is shown that the relative errors of the spheres to approximate the spheroids are less than 1% in the e...
