Dust-extinction-curve Variation in the Translucent Interstellar Medium Is Driven by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Growth

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The first all-sky, high-resolution, 3D map of the optical extinction curve of the Milky Way revealed an unexpected steepening of the extinction curve in the moderate-density, “translucent” interstellar medium (ISM).

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.

Interstellar Matter Structure along the Line of Sight to Cyg X-1

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2015
High-resolution spectra (R = 60 000) of Cyg X-1 = V1357 Cyg obtained with the NES echelle spectrograph of the Russian 6 meter telescope (3950–6690 Å) were used to study narrow interstellar absorption lines.

Imprints of the Local Bubble and Dust Complexity on Polarized Dust Emission

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Using 3D dust maps and Planck polarized dust emission data, we investigate the influence of the 3D geometry of the nearby interstellar medium (ISM) on the statistics of the dust polarization on large ( $80^{\prime} $ ) scales.

Planck intermediate results: XXXIII. Signature of the magnetic field geometry of interstellar filaments in dust polarization maps

open access: yes, 2016
Planck observations at 353 GHz provide the first fully-sampled maps of the polarized dust emission of interstellar filaments and their background (i.e., the emission from outside the filaments, be it associated to the filament or not), offering ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.

Contactless Manipulation and Raman Analysis of Cometary Analogs and Micrometeorites by Acoustic Levitation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Extraterrestrial material collected during space missions is highly exposed to contamination issues during on-Earth analysis. Although high-protection-level protocols were developed, to minimize the contamination due to sample manipulation and the ...
