An R V Map of the Milky Way Revealed by LAMOST

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The total-to-selective extinction ratio, R _V , is a key parameter for tracing the properties of interstellar dust, as it directly determines the variation of the extinction curve with wavelength.

Asymmetric mass-loss from the white dwarf WD 0253+209 : Secret revealed

Bibechana, 2012
Dust structures around the white dwarf WD 0253+209 is studied in 100 and 60 micron infrared image. These images are received from Infrared Astronomical Satellite Survey (IRAS Survey).

Modeling Dust Production, Growth, and Destruction in Reionization-era Galaxies with the CROC Simulations: Methods and Parameter Exploration

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 ...

IAS/CEA Evolution of Dust in Nearby Galaxies (ICED): The spatially-resolved dust properties of NGC4254 [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
We 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.

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.

Organic dust in the interstellar medium [PDF]

, 2014
The possibility that complex organics are a major component of interstellar dust is discussed. Comparison between astronomical infrared spectra and laboratory spectra of amorphous carbonaceous materials suggests that organics of mixed aromatic ...

Interstellar Dust Production, Destruction and Effects of Dust Depletion in Galaxies

Galaxies
Despite the small mass fraction typically observed for the interstellar medium, dust plays a significant role as a key component of galaxies, affecting a wide range of properties. This review focuses specifically on how dust grains influence interstellar

Modeling of Interstellar Dust Grains

, 2008
Dust has two major effects on light passing through the Interstellar Medium - Interstellar Extinction and Reddening. Interstellar dust grains are typically a fraction of a micron, approximately the wavelength of blue light and hence light passing ...
