Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2023 Molecular clouds (MCs) in space are the birthplace of various molecular species. Chemical reactions occurring on the cryogenic surfaces of cosmic icy dust grains have been considered to play important roles in the formation of these species. Radical reactions are crucial because they often have low barriers and thus proceed even at low temperatures ...

INVESTIGATION OF CARBONACEOUS INTERSTELLAR DUST ANALOGUES BY INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY: EFFECTS OF ENERGETIC PROCESSING [PDF]
Proceedings of the 70th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, 2015 Carbonaceous compounds, both solids and gas-phase molecules, are found in very diverse astronomical mediaa. A significant amount of the elemental carbon is found in small dust grains. This carbonaceous dust, mostly formed in the last stages of evolution of C-rich stars, is the carrier of characteristic IR absorption bands revealing the presence of ...

Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2014 Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

Shock processing of interstellar dust - Diamonds in the sky
The Astrophysical Journal, 1987 The processing of interstellar dust grains by strong shock waves is studied, with the emphasis on the effects of grain-grain collisions. Such collisions provide the high pressures required to transform interstellar graphite and amorphous carbon grains into diamonds. Diamond metamorphism is as important for the destruction of such grains as vaporization

Thermal Processing of Interstellar Dust Grains in the Primitive Solar Environment
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 The heating and vaporization of dust grains in the protosolar environment is modeled in order to assess the survivability of interstellar solids during the formation of the solar system. A multidimensional, discrete ordinate radiative transfer code is used to compute thermal transport in the collapsing protosolar cloud.

Joint Modelling of Dust Scattering and Thermal Emission: The Spider Complex
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Observations across the electromagnetic spectrum of radiative processes involving interstellar dust—emission, absorption, and scattering—are used to constrain the parameters of dust models and more directly to aid in foreground removal of dust for ...

Dust in protoplanetary disks: observations*
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Solid particles, usually referred to as dust, are a crucial component of interstellar matter and of planet forming disks surrounding young stars. Despite the relatively small mass fraction of ≈1% (in the solar neighborhood of our galaxy; this number may ...
