Time Evolution of Optical Darkness in Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow: The Case of GRB 240825A

The Astrophysical Journal
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to occur in star-forming regions. The multiwavelength follow-up observations of the early afterglow of GRB 240825A provided insights into the evolution of the optical-to-X-ray spectral feature of the ...

Silicate Extinction Profile Based on the Stellar Spectrum by Spitzer/IRS

The Astrophysical Journal
The 9.7 and 18 μ m interstellar spectral features, arising from the Si–O stretching and O–Si–O bending modes of amorphous silicate dust, are the strongest extinction features in the infrared.

Spatial Variations of Dust Opacity and Grain Growth in Dark Clouds: L1689, L1709, and L1712

The Astrophysical Journal
The far-infrared (FIR) opacity of dust in dark clouds within the Ophiuchus molecular cloud is investigated through multiwavelength infrared observations from UKIDSS, Spitzer, and Herschel.

An All-sky 3D Dust Map Based on Gaia and LAMOST

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a comprehensive 3D dust-reddening map covering the entire Milky Way, constructed by combining reddening estimates based on Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) low-resolution spectra ( E ( B  −  V ) _LAMOST ) with ...

Interstellar Dust Scattering Properties

, 2003
Studies of dust scattering properties in astrophysical objects with Milky Way interstellar dust are reviewed. Such objects are reflection nebulae, dark clouds, and the Diffuse Galactic Light (DGL). To ensure their basic quality, studies had to satisfy four basic criteria to be included in this review.

A First Taste of MEAD (Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust). I. Diffuse Milky Way Interstellar Dust Extinction Features in JWST Infrared Spectra

The Astronomical Journal
We present the initial results of the Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust project, with a focus on the dust extinction features observed in our JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra of nine diffuse Milky Way sightlines (1.2 ≤ A ( V ) ≤ 2.5).

Modeling the Optical Colors of Galactic Cirrus Clouds in the Stripe 82 Region

The Astronomical Journal
Observations have shown that the optical colors of Galactic cirrus clouds differ significantly from those of extragalactic sources; thus, they can be used to distinguish Galactic cirrus from extragalactic low surface brightness (LSB) features.

The End of the Road for Far-infrared Reddening Maps? Evidence for Reddening Errors Driven by Changes in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Abundance

The Astrophysical Journal
Accurate correction for extinction by Galactic dust is essential for studying the extragalactic sky. In the low-extinction regions of the Ursa Major molecular cloud complex, we demonstrate that Galactic dust reddening maps constructed from observations ...
