Spatial Variations of Dust Opacity and Grain Growth in Dark Clouds: L1689, L1709, and L1712

The Astrophysical Journal
The far-infrared (FIR) opacity of dust in dark clouds within the Ophiuchus molecular cloud is investigated through multiwavelength infrared observations from UKIDSS, Spitzer, and Herschel.

Silicate Extinction Profile Based on the Stellar Spectrum by Spitzer/IRS

The Astrophysical Journal
The 9.7 and 18 μ m interstellar spectral features, arising from the Si–O stretching and O–Si–O bending modes of amorphous silicate dust, are the strongest extinction features in the infrared.

Extreme Starlight Polarization Efficiency toward ζ Ophiuchi: A Case for Line-of-sight Foreground Subtraction

The Astronomical Journal
Despite the pervasive nature of interstellar dust and its impact on nearly all observations, most dust corrections employ line-of-sight averages over large angular scales.

A Catalog of Stellar and Dust Properties for 500,000 Stars in the Southwest Bar of the Small Magellanic Cloud

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a catalog of individual stellar and dust extinction properties along close to 500,000 sight lines in the southwest bar of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The catalog is based on multiband Hubble Space Telescope photometric data spanning near-

The Spheroidal Analog Method for Modeling Irregular Porous Aggregates

The Astrophysical Journal
It is shown that the optical properties of an irregular porous grain with effective radius a _eff  ≲ 3 λ (where λ is the wavelength) can be well approximated by a “spheroidal analog”: a spheroid with appropriate axial ratio and size, with a dielectric ...
