dustmaps: A Python interface for maps of interstellar dust
Journal of Open Source Software, 2018 The dustmaps package provides a uniform Python interface for several commonly used maps of interstellar dust, including two-dimensional maps such as Schlegel, Finkbeiner, and Davis (1998), Planck Collaboration et al.

Computing the dust distribution in the bowshock of a fast moving, evolved star [PDF]
, 2011 We study the hydrodynamical behavior occurring in the turbulent interaction zone of a fast moving red supergiant star, where the circumstellar and interstellar material collide.

Low temperature MIR to submillimeter mass absorption coefficient of interstellar dust analogues [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2017 A wealth of data from the Herschel and Planck satellites and now from ALMA, revealing cold dust thermal emission, is available for astronomical environments ranging from interstellar clouds, cold clumps, circumstellar envelops, and protoplanetary disks ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dust extinction is one of the fundamental measurements of dust grain sizes, compositions, and shapes. Most of the wavelength-dependent variations seen in Milky Way extinction are strongly correlated with the single parameter R ( V ) = A ( V )/ E ( B − V )

The formation of peptide-like molecules on interstellar dust grains [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Molecules with an amide functional group resemble peptide bonds, the molecular bridges that connect amino acids, and may thus be relevant in processes that lead to the formation of life.

, 2003 In the interstellar medium of the Milky Way, certain elements -- e.g., Mg, Si, Al, Ca, Ti, Fe -- reside predominantly in interstellar dust grains. These grains absorb, scatter, and emit electromagnetic radiation, heat the interstellar medium by photoelectric emission, play a role in the ionization balance of the gas, and catalyze the formation of ...

Aspects of the Mass Distribution of Interstellar Dust Grains in the Solar System from In-Situ Measurements [PDF]
, 1999 The in-situ detection of interstellar dust grains in the Solar System by the dust instruments on-board the Ulysses and Galileo spacecraft as well as the recent measurements of hyperbolic radar meteors give information on the properties of the ...

Dust in protoplanetary disks: observations*
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Solid particles, usually referred to as dust, are a crucial component of interstellar matter and of planet forming disks surrounding young stars. Despite the relatively small mass fraction of ≈1% (in the solar neighborhood of our galaxy; this number may ...

Dust absorption and scattering in the silicon K-edge [PDF]
, 2019 The composition and properties of interstellar silicate dust are not well understood. In X-rays, interstellar dust can be studied in detail by making use of the fine structure features in the Si K-edge.
