The Multiwavelength Extinction Law and Its Variation in the Coalsack Molecular Cloud Based on the Gaia, APASS, SMSS, 2MASS, GLIMPSE, and WISE Surveys

The Astrophysical Journal
Accurate interpretation of observations relies on the interstellar dust extinction law, which also serves as a powerful diagnostic for probing dust properties.

The dust budget crisis in high-redshift submillimetre galaxies [PDF]

We apply a chemical evolution model to investigate the sources and evolution of dust in a sample of 26 high-redshift (z > 1) submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) from the literature, with complete photometry from ultraviolet to the submillimetre.

Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

Ultraviolet Interstellar Extinction toward High Galactic Latitudes

The Astrophysical Journal
Nearby high Galactic latitude clouds provide a unique laboratory to study the physics and structure of the Galactic interstellar medium and the properties of the interstellar dust.

Emergence of Optical Activity and Surface Morphology Changes in Racemic Amino Acid Films Under Circularly Polarized Lyman‐α Light Irradiation

Chirality, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2024.
The photoreaction induced by Lyman‐α circularly polarized light (CPL) irradiation in racemic alanine film is more complex than simple preferential photolysis of enantiopure alanine molecules, and formation of larger molecules is observed. Circular networks of order of 100 nm scale are introduced in the alanine film surface by the irradiation.

Analyzing dust particle size and size distribution on extracted particles by SEM and comparing with light scattering techniques

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2024.
A comparison is presented between Kinetic Mie Polarimetry and Scanning Electron Microscopy of plasma‐grown amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a‐C:H) particles. The analysis includes particle size distributions, which show that the standard deviation grows linearly, resulting in a constant shape.

Probing the Distinct Extinction Law of the Pillars of Creation in M16 with JWST

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Investigating the extinction law in regions of high dust extinction, such as the Pillars of Creation within the M16 region, is crucial for understanding the densest parts of the interstellar medium (ISM).

Supernova Remnants as a Probe of Dust Grains in the Interstellar Medium [PDF]

, 2010
Interstellar dust grains play a crucial role in the evolution of the galactic interstellar medium (ISM). Despite its importance, however, dust remains poorly understood in terms of its origin, composition, and abundance throughout the universe. Supernova

Radiative Transfer in Spiral Galaxies: Dust Extinction and Emission [PDF]

, 2005
I review the results of our Monte Carlo models for the radiative transfer in the dusty disks of spiral galaxies. The simulations are compared to observations of dust extinction in the optical and emission in the FIR, with the aim of deriving the amount ...
