Physical properties of clusters relevant for the dust formation process in oxygen-rich astrophysical environments

open access: green, 2003
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 ...

Rotational Disruption of Astrophysical Dust and Ice—Theory and Applications

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020

Internal and External Alignment of Carbonaceous Grains within the Radiative Torque Paradigm

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023

Effects of Barnett Magnetic Dipole–Dipole Interaction on Grain Growth and Destruction

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2020
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.

The Astrodust+PAH Model: A Unified Description of the Extinction, Emission, and Polarization from Dust in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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]

open access: yes, 2006
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.
