Graphite and Interstellar Extinction [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1965 The Theory That Graphite Particles could be responsible for interstellar extinction is presented in references 1 and 2, and this paper will present evidence that further supports this contention. The complex dielectric constant (m = n(l — ik) for graphite has been measured as a function of energy by the authors of reference 3, and the optical constants

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 We have obtained accurate dust reddening from the far-ultraviolet to the mid-infrared for up to 5 million stars by the star-pair algorithm based on LAMOST stellar parameters along with Galaxy Evolution Explorer, Pan-STARRS 1, Gaia, Sloan Digital Sky ...

Astrophysics, 2016 This review describes our current understanding of interstellar extinction. This differ substantially from the ideas of the 20th century. With infrared surveys of hundreds of millions of stars over the entire sky, such as 2MASS, SPITZER-IRAC, and WISE, we have looked at the densest and most rarefied regions of the interstellar medium at distances of a ...

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2011 We present a model for interstellar extinction dust, in which we assume a bimodal distribution of extinction carriers, a dispersion of core-mantle grains, supplemented by a collection of PAHs in free molecular form.

An R V Map of the Milky Way Revealed by LAMOST
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The total-to-selective extinction ratio, R _V , is a key parameter for tracing the properties of interstellar dust, as it directly determines the variation of the extinction curve with wavelength.

Diamonds and the Interstellar Extinction Curve [PDF]
Nature, 1970 IT has been suggested1 that the interstellar extinction might be explained by assuming that the interstellar dust is composed of an appropriate size distribution of diamond particles. The imaginary part of the index of refraction of diamond increases sharply from near zero to about 1.0 at λ−1 = 5.0 µm−1, giving an albedo near unity in the visible and ...

Time-series surveys and pulsating stars: The near-infrared perspective
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The purpose of this review is to discuss the advantages and problems of nearinfrared surveys in observing pulsating stars in the Milky Way. One of the advantages of near-infrared surveys, when compared to optical counterparts, is that the interstellar ...

Evolving interstellar extinction [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 Interstellar dust containing carbon will necessarily have optical constants that respond to the local environment of the dust. This response may be sufficiently slow that the extinction produced by such dust may change on time-scales that are comparable to the likely cloud age.

Measurements of Interstellar Extinction [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1989 The results of interstellar extinction measurements from the near IR to the far-UV are reviewed. The average interstellar extinction curve for the diffuse cloud medium exhibits a nearly linear rise (in 1/λ) from 1 μm−1 to the 2.25 μm−1 “knee” in extinction where the slope changes.

The nature of interstellar dust as revealed by light scattering
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2011 Interstellar dust was first identified through the extinction that it causes of optical starlight. Initially, observational and theoretical studies of extinction were made to identify simple ways of removing the effect of extinction.
