Interstellar extinction toward the CAS OB6 association: Where is the dust?

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1993
We have completed a multiband (ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared) study of the interstellar extinction properties of nine massive stars in IC 1805 and IC 1848, which are both part of Cas OB6 in the Perseus spiral arm. Our analysis includes determination of absolute extinction over the wavelength range from 3 micrometers to 1250 A.

An Empirical Extinction Curve Revealed by Gaia XP Spectra and LAMOST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a direct measurement of extinction curves using corrected Gaia XP spectra of the common sources in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7. Our analysis of approximately 370,000 high-quality samples yielded a high-precision average extinction curve for the ...

On the Absorption and Emission Properties of Interstellar Grains

open access: yes, 2005
Our current understanding of the absorption and emission properties of interstellar grains are reviewed. The constraints placed by the Kramers-Kronig relation on the wavelength-dependence and the maximum allowable quantity of the dust absorption are ...

Foreground Dust Properties toward the Cluster NGC 7380

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Using starlight polarization, we present the properties of foreground dust toward cluster NGC 7380 embedded in H ii region Sh 2-142. Observations of starlight polarization are carried out in four filters using an imaging polarimeter equipped with a 104 ...

On the Interstellar Extinction Curve toward HD 93222, a Sight Line with an Exceedingly Narrow 2175 Å Extinction Bump

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The 2175 Å extinction bump, the most prominent spectral feature superimposed on the interstellar extinction curve, is widely seen in the interstellar medium of the Milky Way and external galaxies, both near and far.

The End of the Road for Far-infrared Reddening Maps? Evidence for Reddening Errors Driven by Changes in Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Abundance

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Accurate correction for extinction by Galactic dust is essential for studying the extragalactic sky. In the low-extinction regions of the Ursa Major molecular cloud complex, we demonstrate that Galactic dust reddening maps constructed from observations ...

Dusty globules in the Crab Nebula

open access: yes, 2016
From existing broad-band images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, we located 92 globules, for which we derived positions, dimensions, orientations, extinctions, masses, proper motions, and their distributions. The globules have mean radii ranging

Extinction Distributions in Nearby Star-resolved Galaxies. I. M31

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
An extinction distribution of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is constructed with member stars as tracers by fitting multiband photometric data from UKIRT/WFCAM, Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1, and Gaia DR3.

Dynamical models for dusty disk galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Disk galaxies contain a large amount of interstellar dust, which affects the projection of kinematic quantities. We investigate in detail the effects of dust extinction on the mean projected velocity and the projected velocity dispersion.
