Interstellar dust along the line of sight of GX 3+1 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context.Studying absorption and scattering of X-ray radiation by interstellar dust grains allows us to access the physical and chemical properties of cosmic grains even in the densest regions of the Galaxy.Aims.We aim at characterising the dust silicate ...

The Near-infrared Extinction Law at High and Low Galactic Latitudes
The Astrophysical JournalThe Milky Way dust extinction curve in the near-infrared (NIR) follows a power-law form, but the value of the slope, β _NIR , is debated. Systematic variations in the slope of the Milky Way UV extinction curve are known to be correlated with variations ...

On Absorption by Circumstellar Dust, With the Progenitor of SN2012aw as a Case Study
, 2012 We use the progenitor of SN2012aw to illustrate the consequences of modeling circumstellar dust using Galactic (interstellar) extinction laws that (1) ignore dust emission in the near-IR and beyond; (2) average over dust compositions, and (3) mis ...

A Dynamical Constraint on Interstellar Dust Models from Radiative Torque Disruption [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Interstellar dust is an essential component of the interstellar medium (ISM) and plays critical roles in astrophysics. Achieving an accurate model of interstellar dust is therefore of great importance.

CMB Shadows: The Effect of Interstellar Extinction on Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization and Temperature Anisotropy [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 We evaluate the degradation of the accuracy of the component separation between the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and foreground components caused by neglect of absorption of the CMB’s monopole component by the galactic interstellar matter.

The Impact of Accurate Extinction Measurements for X-ray Spectral Models
, 2015 Interstellar extinction includes both absorption and scattering of photons from interstellar gas and dust grains, and it has the effect of altering a source's spectrum and its total observed intensity.

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.

Mapping the Milky Way bulge at high resolution: the 3D dust extinction, CO, and X factor maps
, 2014 Three dimensional interstellar extinction maps provide a powerful tool for stellar population analysis. We use data from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey together with the Besan\c{c}on stellar population synthesis model of the Galaxy to ...

The shape and composition of interstellar silicate grains [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate the composition and shape distribution of silicate dust grains in the interstellar medium. The effect of the amount of magnesium in the silicate lattice is studied.
