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.

ORGANIC DUST IN THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM [PDF]
Publications of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2014 The traditional view of dust in the interstellar medium is that it is made of graphite and silicates. In this paper, we discuss the evidence for complex organics being a major component of interstellar dust. Comparison between astronomical infrared spectra and laboratory spectra of amorphous carbonaceous materials suggests that organics of mixed ...

Aliphatic hydrocarbon content of interstellar dust [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 In the interstellar medium, carbon is distributed between the gas and solid phases. However, while about half of the expected carbon abundance can be accounted for in the gas phase, there is considerable uncertainty as to the amount incorporated in interstellar dust.

The feasibility of using an L1 positioned dust cloud as a method of space-based geoengineering [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper a method of geoengineering is proposed involving clouds of dust placed in the vicinity of the L1 point as an alternative to the use of thin film reflectors.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We introduce a model for the explicit evolution of interstellar dust in a cosmological galaxy formation simulation. We post-process a simulation from the Cosmic Reionization on Computers project, integrating an ordinary differential equation for the ...

Interstellar dust in galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1990 Current ideas about the nature of interstellar dust in galaxies are reviewed, with a strong emphasis on the nature of the very small grain component needed to explain the mid-infrared diffuse emission and unidentified infrared features. Models for the infrared spectra of galaxies are reviewed and the evidence that most of the radiation in star-forming ...

IAS/CEA Evolution of Dust in Nearby Galaxies (ICED): The spatially-resolved dust properties of NGC4254 [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesWe present the first preliminary results of the project ICED, focusing on the face-on galaxy NGC4254. We use the millimetre maps observed with NIKA2 at lRAM-30m. as part of the IMEGIN Guaranteed Time Large Program.

Catalytic Role of Refractory Interstellar Grain Analogs on H2 Formation
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Refractory dust grains have an important role to play in the chemistry of star and planet-forming regions. Their surfaces interact with interstellar gas and act as a catalyst for the formation of simple and complex molecules in space.

Interstellar dust close to the Sun [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2013 The low density interstellar medium (ISM) close to the Sun and inside of the heliosphere provides a unique laboratory for studying interstellar dust grains. Grain characteristics in the nearby ISM are obtained from observations of interstellar gas and dust inside of the heliosphere and the interstellar gas towards nearby stars.
