Modeling of Interstellar Dust Grains
, 2008 Dust has two major effects on light passing through the Interstellar Medium - Interstellar Extinction and Reddening. Interstellar dust grains are typically a fraction of a micron, approximately the wavelength of blue light and hence light passing ...

RF plasma production and electron processing of interstellar carbonaceous dust analogs.
, 2018 Carbonaceous dust in the diffuse interstellar (IS) medium is largely made of some sort of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H), whose structure has been explained by two alternative models: small aromatic islands linked by aliphatic chains [1] or large polyaromatic structures with small aliphatic substituents at the edges [2].

Studying the spatial distribution of interstellar dust [PDF]
, 1989 The spacial distribution of interstellar dust reflects both interstellar dynamics and the processes which form and destroy dust in the interstellar medium (ISM).

Optical Radiation Pressure: Resonant Mechanical Excitation of Thin Films
Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 10, October 2026.The modulation of a laser beam generates a modulated radiation pressure force acting on a thin film. A resonant response is observed, leading to a net average thinning of the film. ABSTRACT Optical radiation pressure was directly observed for the first time more than a century ago.

Organic dust in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2014 The possibility that complex organics are a major component of interstellar dust is discussed. Comparison between astronomical infrared spectra and laboratory spectra of amorphous carbonaceous materials suggests that organics of mixed aromatic ...

The Astrophysical JournalThe interstellar medium (ISM) consists of a diversity of structures across a range of spatial scales, intimately tied to galactic evolution. In this work, Fourier analysis is used to characterize the spatial structures of dust and polycyclic aromatic ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a new model of interstellar dust in which large grains are a single composite material, “astrodust,” and nanoparticle-sized grains come in distinct varieties including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We argue that a single-composition

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
