The formation of small solid particles (dust grains) from the gas phase in the circumstellar environments of evolved stars or the atmospheres of substellar objects (brown dwarfs) requires suitable physical and chemical conditions. The temperature and density of the gas have to be confined to a certain regime, the emph{dust formation window}, in order ...

Internal and External Alignment of Carbonaceous Grains within the Radiative Torque Paradigm
We study the internal and external alignment of carbonaceous grains in the interstellar medium (ISM) within the Radiative Torque (RAT) paradigm.

Effects of Barnett Magnetic Dipole–Dipole Interaction on Grain Growth and Destruction
Rapidly spinning magnetic grains can acquire large magnetic dipole moments due to the Barnett effect. Here we study the new effect of Barnett magnetic dipole–dipole interaction on grain–grain collisions and grain growth, assuming that grains are spun up ...

Supernova Dust Evolution Probed by Deep-sea 60Fe Time History
There is a wealth of data on live, undecayed ^60 Fe ( t _1/2 = 2.6 Myr) in deep-sea deposits, the lunar regolith, cosmic rays, and Antarctic snow, which is interpreted as originating from the recent explosions of at least two near-Earth supernovae.

Physical models of streaming instabilities in protoplanetary discs [PDF]
We develop simple, physically motivated models for drag-induced dust–gas streaming instabilities, which are thought to be crucial for clumping grains to form planetesimals in protoplanetary discs.

We present a new model of interstellar dust in which large grains are a single composite material, “astrodust,” and nanoparticle-sized grains come in distinct varieties including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We argue that a single-composition

Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer [PDF]
I outline methods for calculating the solution of Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer (MCRT) in scattering, absorption and emission processes of dust and gas, including polarization.

The penetration of FUV radiation into molecular clouds [PDF]
The solution of the FUV radiative transfer equation can be complicated if the most relevant radiative processes such as dust scattering and gas line absorption are included, and have realistic (non-uniform) properties.
