Ultraviolet Interstellar Linear Polarization
Astro-2 has revealed a broad weak spectral feature in the ultraviolet interstellar linear polarization for two lines of sight, connrming the original detection toward HD 197770 and adding HD 147933-4. These are the only two polarization features found in some 30 lines of sight now observed. Both features are centered close to 2175 A, the position of the ubiquitous ultraviolet extinction bump. T...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملGravitational Collapse of Spherical Interstellar Clouds
In this paper, the gravitational collapse of spherical interstellar clouds is discussed based on hydrodynamical simulations. The evolution is divided into two phases: former runaway collapse phase, in which the central density increases greatly on a nite time scale, and later contraction, associated with accretion onto a newborn star. The initial density distribution is expressed using a ratio ...
متن کاملSpherical harmonic projectors
The harmonic projection (HP), which is implicit in the numerous harmonic transforms between physical and spectral spaces, is responsible for the reliability of the spectral method for modeling geophysical phenomena. As currently configured, the HP consists of a forward transform from physical to spectral space (harmonic analysis) immediately followed by a harmonic synthesis back to physical spa...
متن کاملEfficient Spherical Harmonic Evaluation
The real spherical harmonics have been used extensively in computer graphics, but the conventional representation is in terms of spherical coordinates and involves expensive trigonometric functions. While the polynomial form is often listed for low orders, directly evaluating the basis functions independently is inefficient. This paper will describe in detail how recurrence relations can be use...
