On the long-wavelength absorption by interstellar dust

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1991
Two proposed modifications to the standard theory for the long-wavelength absorption by interstellar dust grains are shown to be incorrect. The Mie theory for spheres or cylinders, or the discrete dipole approximation for irregular shapes, are based on Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field and should be used instead of the modified formula ...

Analysis of the 3.2–3.3 μm Interstellar Absorption Feature on Three Milky Way Sightlines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report new analyses of spectra of the 3.2–3.3 μ m absorption feature observed in the diffuse interstellar medium toward three Milky Way sources: 2MASS J 17470898 − 2829561 (2M1747) and the Quintuplet Cluster, both located in the Galactic center, and ...

The Densities in Diffuse and Translucent Molecular Clouds: Estimates from Observations of C2 and from Three-dimensional Extinction Maps

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Newly computed collisional rate coefficients for the excitation of C _2 in collisions with H _2 , presented recently by Najar & Kalugina, are significantly larger than the values adopted previously in models for the excitation of the C _2 molecule, a ...

Revisiting the Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of the η Tel Edge-on Debris Disk

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We revisit the ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy of the edge-on debris disk surrounding the A0V star η  Telescopii. Previous work found absorption components at four velocities (∼−23, −18, −10, −1 km s ^−1 ), with the most blueshifted component (−23 km

Interstellar grain mantles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Interstellar molecular grain mantles are an important component of the interstellar dust inside dense molecular clouds as evidenced by the detection of absorption bands at 2.97, 3.08, 4.61, 6.0 and 6.8 microns.

The organic component of interstellar grains [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The 3.4 micron absorption feature observed in the spectrum of a number of Galactic Center (GC) sources indicates the presence of organic molecules in the interstellar medium.

SOLAR RADIATION PRESSURE AND LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM FLOW PARAMETERS FROM INTERSTELLAR BOUNDARY EXPLORER LOW ENERGY HYDROGEN MEASUREMENTS

open access: yes, 2013
Neutral hydrogen atoms that travel into the heliosphere from the local interstellar medium (LISM) experience strong effects due to charge exchange and radiation pressure from resonant absorption and re-emission of Lyα.

Infrared absorption and emission characteristics of interstellar PAHs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
The mid-infrared interstellar emission spectrum with features at 3.28, 6.2, 7.7, 8.7 and 11.3 microns is discussed in terms of the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) hypothesis, which is based on the suggestive, but inconclusive comparison between the
