Joint Modelling of Dust Scattering and Thermal Emission: The Spider Complex
Observations across the electromagnetic spectrum of radiative processes involving interstellar dust—emission, absorption, and scattering—are used to constrain the parameters of dust models and more directly to aid in foreground removal of dust for ...

Modelling dust processing and the evolution of grain sizes in the ISM using the method of moments
Interstellar dust grains do not have a single well-defined origin. Stars are demonstrably dust producers, but also efficient destroyers of cosmic dust. Dust destruction in the ISM is believed to be the result of SN shocks hitting the ambient ISM gas (and

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

The Near-infrared Extinction Law at High and Low Galactic Latitudes
The Milky Way dust extinction curve in the near-infrared (NIR) follows a power-law form, but the value of the slope, β _NIR , is debated. Systematic variations in the slope of the Milky Way UV extinction curve are known to be correlated with variations ...

ALMA Reveals Diverse Dust-to-gas Mass Ratios and Quenching Modes in Old Quiescent Galaxies
Recent discoveries of dust and molecular gas in quiescent galaxies (QGs) up to z ∼ 4 challenge the long-standing view that the interstellar medium depletes rapidly once star formation ceases, raising key questions of whether dust and gas coevolve in QGs,

The presence of dust in the general interstellar medium is inferred from the extinction, polarization, and scattering of starlight; the presence of dark nebulae; interstellar depletions; the observed infrared emission around certain stars and various ...

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Tautomerization Reactions of 1,1‐ and 1,2‐Ethenediols
ABSTRACT Tautomerism is a common phenomenon amongst organic molecules with easily interconvertible isomers, which can impact drug action and toxicity. Here we are interested in the enols of carboxylic acids, which are known to be much less stable than their acid counterparts.

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

Tentative Identification of Interstellar Dust in the Nose of the Heliosphere
Observations of the weak polarization of light from nearby stars, reported by Tinbergen (1982), are consistent with polarization by small, radius
