Evolution of Interstellar Dust

1987
This paper presents a review of our current knowledge of interstellar dust. The composition of the interstellar dust is summarized in Table 1. About half of the dust volume consists of amorphous silicates. The other half has to be made up out of a carbonaceous component, such as graphite, amorphous carbon (e.g., soot), and/or organic grain mantles (e.g.

The Diffuse Interstellar Bands and Interstellar Dust

1995
As far as we now know, interstellar dust and the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are not directly related; there is no really good correlation between any DIB and a specific feature of interstellar extinction. I argue that it is not useful to consider the λ2175 “bump”, by far the strongest feature in the interstellar extinction law (in terms of ...

On the alignment of interstellar dust

Physica, 1969
Abstract Two alignment mechanisms have been investigated by means of a Monte Carlo model. In the mechanism suggested by Gold, needles or flakes which have a sufficiently high velocity with respect to the gas around them are aligned in consequence of the anisotropy of the angular momentum acquired by a grain in collision with gas atoms.

Interstellar Dust and Circumstellar Dust Disks

2001
Interstellar dust research belongs to the young branches of astrophysics. With the establishment of sensitive observational techniques in the astronomical infrared spectroscopy in the 1960s, diagnostic circumstellar and interstellar dust bands were detected and induced an explosive development of the whole field.

The Composition of Interstellar Dust

1996
The majority of interstellar grain models are based on a dust population composed of carbon and silicate grains. Abundance studies using high-resolution absorption line spectra, however, suggest that other grain types, perhaps oxides or metal grains, are prevalent in interstellar clouds.
