Massive Acquisition of Ultraviolet Color Excess Information from GALEX and UVOT Bands

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
This study employs stellar parameters from spectroscopic surveys and Zhang et al. (2023) based on Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra, along with photometric data from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT), and Gaia, to obtain extensive ...

Circumstellar dust [PDF]

, 1986
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 ...

A Detailed Analysis of Intermediate-scale Structure in Optical Extinction Curves: Expanded Census and Two-family Classification

The Astrophysical Journal
The features of interstellar extinction curves serve as powerful diagnostics for interstellar dust, revealing information about its composition, size distribution, and the physical and chemical processes that shape it. D. Massa et al.

Dust-extinction-curve Variation in the Translucent Interstellar Medium Is Driven by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Growth

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The first all-sky, high-resolution, 3D map of the optical extinction curve of the Milky Way revealed an unexpected steepening of the extinction curve in the moderate-density, “translucent” interstellar medium (ISM).

A First Taste of MEAD (Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust). I. Diffuse Milky Way Interstellar Dust Extinction Features in JWST Infrared Spectra

The Astronomical Journal
Abstract We present the initial results of the Measuring Extinction and Abundances of Dust project, with a focus on the dust extinction features observed in our JWST near- and mid-infrared spectra of nine diffuse Milky Way sightlines (1.2 ≤ A(V) ≤ 2.5).

Dust Absorption toward Supernova Remnant W44

The Astronomical Journal
Supernova remnants (SNRs) can strongly affect the chemical composition of the interstellar dust. In this paper, we investigate to what degree the dust and ices are modified by observing four stars expected to be absorbed by a giant molecular cloud ...

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.

Investigating interstellar dust along the line of sight of GX 13+1 using different dust-size distributions

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy offers a powerful tool to investigate the physical and chemical properties of dust grains, especially through the analysis of absorption edges of elements such as oxygen, magnesium, silicon, and iron, which are
