Interstellar Dust Grains [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2003 ▪ Abstract This review surveys the observed properties of interstellar dust grains: the wavelength-dependent extinction of starlight, including absorption features, from UV to infrared; optical luminescence; infrared emission; microwave emission; optical, UV, and X-ray scattering by dust; and polarization of starlight and of infrared emission.

Atomistic Modeling of Methyl Formate and Glycolaldehyde Formation on Interstellar Dirty Ice Mantles via a "Radical + Ice" Mechanism. [PDF]
ChempluschemThe presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...

Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

Chemical Kinetics Simulations of Ice Chemistry on Porous Versus Non-Porous Dust Grains
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The degree of porosity in interstellar dust-grain material is poorly defined, although recent work has suggested that the grains could be highly porous.

Prediction of the In-Situ Dust Measurements of the Stardust Mission to Comet 81P/Wild 2 [PDF]
, 1999 We predict the amount of cometary, interplanetary, and interstellar cosmic dust that is to be measured by the Cometary and Interstellar Dust Analyzer (CIDA) and the aerogel collector on-board the Stardust spacecraft during its fly-by of comet P/Wild 2 ...

Interstellar dust within the life cycle of the interstellar medium
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Cosmic dust is omnipresent in the Universe. Its presence influences the evolution of the astronomical objects which in turn modify its physical and chemical properties.

Modeling the Motion and Distribution of Interstellar Dust inside the Heliosphere [PDF]
, 1999 The interaction of dust grains originating from the local interstellar cloud with the environment inside the heliosphere is investigated. As a consequence of this interaction the spatial distribution of interstellar dust grains changes with time.
