Supernova dust destruction in the magnetized turbulent ISM [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
Dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is critical to the absorption and intensity of emission profiles used widely in astronomical observations, and necessary for star and planet formation. Supernovae (SNe) both produce and destroy ISM dust.

Supernova dust destruction in the magnetized turbulent ISM

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Abstract Dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is critical to the absorption and intensity of emission profiles used widely in astronomical observations, and necessary for star and planet formation. Supernova explosions (SNe) eject dust into the ISM, but potentially destroy much larger quantities already present in the ambient ISM.

Dust Destruction Rates and Lifetimes in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
The nature, composition, abundance, and size distribution of dust in galaxies is determined by the rate at which it is created in the different stellar sources and destroyed by interstellar shocks.

Destruction of Interstellar Dust in Evolving Supernova Remnant Shock Waves [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2015
Supernova generated shock waves are responsible for most of the destruction of dust grains in the interstellar medium (ISM). Calculations of the dust destruction timescale have so far been carried out using plane parallel steady shocks, however that ...

Numerical Simulations of Supernova Dust Destruction. II. Metal-Enriched Ejecta Knots [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2012
Following our previous work, we investigate through hydrodynamic simulations the destruction of newly-formed dust grains by sputtering in the reverse shocks of supernova remnants.

Dust accretion and destruction in galaxy groups and clusters [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010
We examine the dust distribution around a sample of 70,000 low redshift galaxy groups and clusters derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. By correlating spectroscopically identified background quasars with the galaxy groups we obtain the relative ...

Dust Destruction in Shock Waves in the Cygnus Loop

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Supernova remnant (SNR) shock waves are known to be important sources of dust destruction in the interstellar medium. Models of dust destruction in shocks have made various predictions of the destruction efficiency, but have generally been difficult to ...

Chondrule Destruction via Dust Collisions in Shock Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
A leading candidate for the heating source of chondrules and igneous rims is shock waves. This mechanism generates high relative velocities between chondrules and dust particles.

Dust destruction at high galactic altitude [PDF]

open access: yesАстрономия и исследование космического пространства: Всероссийская с международным участием научная конференция студентов и молодых ученых, посвященная памяти Полины Евгеньевны Захаровой, 2021
The possibility of destruction carbonaceous dust particles swept out by the radiation pressure into near-galactic space due to the relative motion of dust particles of various sizes is considered. The earlier model of the motion of dust in the Galaxy under the action of radiation pressure, gravity, and gas resistance is expanded taking into account the
