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 ...

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.

A Dynamical Constraint on Interstellar Dust Models from Radiative Torque Disruption [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Interstellar dust is an essential component of the interstellar medium (ISM) and plays critical roles in astrophysics. Achieving an accurate model of interstellar dust is therefore of great importance.

Interstellar dust in the solar system: model versus in situ spacecraft data [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context. In the early 1990s, contemporary interstellar dust penetrating deep into the heliosphere was identified with the in situ dust detector on board the Ulysses spacecraft.

X-ray extinction from interstellar dust [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Aims. We present a study on the prospects of observing carbon, sulfur, and other lower abundance elements (namely Al, Ca, Ti, and Ni) present in the interstellar medium using future X-ray instruments.

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.

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.

Heliospheric modulation of the interstellar dust flow on to Earth [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Aims. Based on measurements by the Ulysses spacecraft and high-resolution modelling of the motion of interstellar dust (ISD) through the heliosphere we predict the ISD flow in the inner planetary system and on to the Earth.

The Interstellar Dust Properties of Nearby Galaxies [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2017 This article gives an overview of the constitution, physical conditions, and observables of dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial distribution of dust in these objects and its consequences for our ...
