Atomic processes for astrophysical plasmas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this review we summarize the recent calculations and improvements of atomic data that we have carried out for the analysis of astrophysical spectroscopy within the Atomic Processes for Astrophysical Plasmas (APA P) network.

Mechanical Torque Disruption of Dust Grains Induced by Supernova Shock Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The feedback from massive stars drives the evolution of interstellar dust grains by altering their physical properties via a number of radiative and mechanical processes.

The Journey of Interstellar Dust

open access: yes, 2007
Interstellar dust particles undergo a complex journey in space. It commences with their formation in stellar outflows or outbursts, but may end in very different ways. Their fates range from sudden "death by destruction" promptly after their formation to

No Evidence of Polarization in the 11.3 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission Line by Independent Analyses

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are commonly used as proxies for star formation, molecular gas content, and other interstellar medium (ISM) properties in our Galaxy and other galaxies.

Modeling Dust Production, Growth, and Destruction in Reionization-era Galaxies with the CROC Simulations. II. Predicting the Dust Content of High-redshift Galaxies [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes
We model the interstellar dust content of the reionization era with a suite of cosmological, fluid-dynamical simulations of galaxies with stellar masses ranging from ∼105 to 109 M ⊙ in the first 1.2 Gyr of the Universe.

Scattering of electromagnetic radiation by dust induced plasma fluctuations (generalized theory for dust diagnostics)

open access: yes, 2020
General theory electromagnetic wave scattering in dusty plasmas is developed. It is found that dust grains change both the electron and ion fluctuations via effective ion-dust and electron-dust absorption and scattering that can be detected by broadening

A detailed study of the reflection nebula, NGC 7023 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Polarisation and intensity maps in three broad wavebands are presented for the reflection nebula NGC7023. The data are used to investigate the structure, dust distribution and grain characteristics of the material surrounding the central illuminating ...

The Dust Echo Emission of Fast Blue Optical Transients and Application to the Near-infrared Excess of AT 2018cow

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A near-infrared (NIR) excess has been discovered in the emission of the representative fast blue optical transient (FBOT) AT 2018cow. It was suggested that this NIR excess could be emitted by the dust surrounding the source and thus could provide a probe

Resonant Instabilities in Astrophysical and Laboratory Dusty Plasmas

open access: yes
The interaction of dust grains with plasmas is of substantial interest in both astrophysical and laboratory contexts. Dust is ubiquitous in astrophysical environments, playing a significant role in the dynamics and chemistry of systems such as molecular ...

Observation of Diffuse Galactic Light Near the Galactic Center with ONC-T on Board Hayabusa2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Diffuse Galactic light (DGL) is starlight scattered by interstellar dust. In visible wavelengths, earlier studies observed DGL toward regions of low optical depth in high Galactic latitude, and show marginal consistency with a theoretical model assuming ...
