Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

One Relation for All Wavelengths: The Far-ultraviolet to Mid-infrared Milky Way Spectroscopic R(V)-dependent Dust Extinction Relationship

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 )

Decomposition of the central structure of NGC 2273 in the NIR: A case study

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 10, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 is a prime target to explore how active nuclei can be fed. It has a star‐forming innermost nuclear ring with a radius of 0.33kpc from where material may be funneled to the supermassive black hole in its center. In this article, we discuss high‐resolution adaptive optics aided JHKs images of NGC 2273 taken with the

Kinetics of the tautomerization of thioimidic acids R−C(SH)NH → R−C(S)NH2: For R = H, F, HO, CN, NC, H2N, HC(O), HC(S), HC≡ C, CH3, CF3, H2C=CH, HOCH2, H2NCH2,CH3C(O), C2H5, (CH3)2CH, C6H5

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 731-742, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The kinetics of the tautomerization of thio‐imidic acids RC(SH)NH were determined at low (50–300 K) and high (500–1500 K) temperatures as R was varied to encompass mono‐ and diatomic species H, F, HO, NC, CN through H2N, HC(O), HC(S), HC≡ C, H3C, F3C, HOCH2, H2C=CH, CH3C(O), H2NCH2 and including ethyl, isopropyl and phenyl groups.

PAWS and POCO: NIR Astrophotonic Instruments for Astronomy

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023
Abstract For near‐infrared ground and space‐based astronomy, compact photonic devices can replace the large bulk optical components in spectrographs, frequency combs, beam combiners, and sky subtraction filters, thus saving cost, reducing volume, weight, and power requirements.

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.

On the origin of de‐polarization in CB54

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 5, June 2023., 2023
Abstract We present polarimetric observations of the Bok globule CB54 in the far‐infrared via SOFIA/HAWC+ bands D (154 μ$$ \mu $$m) and E (214 μ$$ \mu $$m). We detect polarization with mean polarization degrees of p154 μm‾=7.7 %$$ \overline{p_{154\;\upmu \mathrm{m}}}=7.7\% $$ ±$$ \pm $$ 5.4%$$ \% $$ and p214 μm‾=8.5 %$$ \overline{p_{214\;\upmu \mathrm ...
