Investigating interstellar dust along the line of sight of GX 13+1 using different dust-size distributions

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy offers a powerful tool to investigate the physical and chemical properties of dust grains, especially through the analysis of absorption edges of elements such as oxygen, magnesium, silicon, and iron, which are

Dust Absorption toward Supernova Remnant W44

The Astronomical Journal
Supernova remnants (SNRs) can strongly affect the chemical composition of the interstellar dust. In this paper, we investigate to what degree the dust and ices are modified by observing four stars expected to be absorbed by a giant molecular cloud ...

Spatial Variations of Dust Opacity and Grain Growth in Dark Clouds: L1689, L1709, and L1712

The Astrophysical Journal
The far-infrared (FIR) opacity of dust in dark clouds within the Ophiuchus molecular cloud is investigated through multiwavelength infrared observations from UKIDSS, Spitzer, and Herschel.

Time Evolution of Optical Darkness in Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow: The Case of GRB 240825A

The Astrophysical Journal
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to occur in star-forming regions. The multiwavelength follow-up observations of the early afterglow of GRB 240825A provided insights into the evolution of the optical-to-X-ray spectral feature of the ...

Silicate Extinction Profile Based on the Stellar Spectrum by Spitzer/IRS

The Astrophysical Journal
The 9.7 and 18 μ m interstellar spectral features, arising from the Si–O stretching and O–Si–O bending modes of amorphous silicate dust, are the strongest extinction features in the infrared.

Diverse reddening distributions in sight lines for type Ia supernovae

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Accurate cosmological constraints from type Ia supernovae (SNe) require sufficiently accurate corrections for host-galaxy extinction. Modelling these corrections is challenged by the problem of disentangling the SN’s intrinsic colours from host ...

Extreme Starlight Polarization Efficiency toward ζ Ophiuchi: A Case for Line-of-sight Foreground Subtraction

The Astronomical Journal
Despite the pervasive nature of interstellar dust and its impact on nearly all observations, most dust corrections employ line-of-sight averages over large angular scales.

A Catalog of Stellar and Dust Properties for 500,000 Stars in the Southwest Bar of the Small Magellanic Cloud

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a catalog of individual stellar and dust extinction properties along close to 500,000 sight lines in the southwest bar of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The catalog is based on multiband Hubble Space Telescope photometric data spanning near-
