Interstellar Extinction and Elemental Abundances: Individual Sight Lines [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2021
While it is well recognized that both the Galactic interstellar extinction curves and the gas-phase abundances of dust-forming elements exhibit considerable variations from one sight line to another, as yet most of the dust extinction modeling efforts ...

Multiwavelength astrophysics of the blazar OJ 287 and the project MOMO

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 4, May 2023., 2023
Abstract We are carrying out the densest and longest multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring project of OJ 287 ever done. The project MOMO (Multiwavelength Observations and Modeling of OJ 287) covers wavelengths from the radio to the high‐energy regime. A few selected observations are simultaneous with those of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).

A persistent influence of supernovae on biodiversity over the Phanerozoic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
It shows the correlation between diversity and supernovae frequency. Abstract It is an open question what has constrained macroevolutionary changes in marine animal diversity on the time scale of the Phanerozoic. Here, we will show that supernovae appear to have significantly influenced the biodiversity of life.

Interstellar Silicon Depletion and the Ultraviolet Extinction [PDF]

, 2017
Spinning small silicate grains were recently invoked to account for the Galactic foreground anomalous microwave emission. These grains, if present, will absorb starlight in the far ultraviolet (UV).

Decadal and Annual Variations in Meteoric Flux From Ulysses, Wind, and SOFIE Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 127, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Our solar system is filled with meteoric particles, or cosmic dust, which is either interplanetary or interstellar in origin. Interstellar dust (ISD) enters the heliosphere due to the relative motion of the sun and the interstellar flow. Interplanetary dust (IPD) comes primarily from asteroid collisions or comet sublimation, and comprises the ...

Extinction of Taurus, Orion, Perseus, and California Molecular Clouds Based on the LAMOST, 2MASS, and Gaia Surveys. I. 3D Extinction and Structure

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The 3D extinction and structure are studied for the Taurus, Orion, Perseus, and California molecular clouds based on the LAMOST spectroscopy. Stellar color excess is calculated with the intrinsic color index derived from the atmospheric parameters in the

The Ultraviolet to Mid-infrared Extinction Law of the Taurus Molecular Cloud Based on the Gaia DR3, GALEX, APASS, Pan-STARRS1, 2MASS, and WISE Surveys

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Interstellar-dust extinction law is essential for interpreting observations. In this work, we investigate the ultraviolet (UV)–mid-infrared (IR) extinction law of the Taurus molecular cloud and its possible variations. We select 504,988 dwarf stars (4200

Dust Extinction Law in Nearby Star-resolved Galaxies. II. M33 Traced by Supergiants

, 2022
The dust extinction curves toward individual sight lines in M33 are derived for the first time with a sample of reddened O-type and B-type supergiants obtained from the Local Group Galaxies Survey (LGGS).

Magnesium and silicon in interstellar dust: X-ray overview [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context.The dense Galactic environment is a large reservoir of interstellar dust. Therefore, this region represents a perfect laboratory to study the properties of cosmic dust grains. X-rays are the most direct way to detect the interaction of light with

Relations between Mid-infrared Dust Emission and UV Extinction [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2021
We analyze low-resolution Spitzer infrared (IR) 5−14 μm spectra of the diffuse emission toward a carefully selected sample of stars. The sample is composed of sight lines toward stars that have well-determined ultraviolet (UV) extinction curves and that ...
