The 2200 A bump and the UV extinction curve

open access: yes, 2012
The 2200 A bump is a major figure of interstellar extinction. Extinction curves with no bump however exist and are, with no exception, linear from the near-infrared down to 2500 A at least, often over all the visible-UV spectrum.

The nature of interstellar dust as revealed by light scattering

open access: yesAtti 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.

The extinction law inside the 30 Doradus nebula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We have studied the interstellar extinction in a field of ~3' x 3' at the core of the 30 Doradus nebula, including the central R136 cluster, in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Interstellar Silicon Depletion and the Ultraviolet Extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spinning small silicate grains were recently invoked to account for the Galactic foreground anomalous microwave emission. These grains, if present, will absorb starlight in the far ultraviolet (UV).

Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

The Near-infrared Extinction Law at High and Low Galactic Latitudes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The 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 ...

Unveiling the nature of IGR J16493-4348 with IR spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is discovering a large number of new hard X-ray sources, many of them being HMXBs. The identification and spectral characterization of their optical/infrared counterparts is a necessary step ...

Extinction of Taurus, Orion, Perseus, and California Molecular Clouds Based on the LAMOST, 2MASS, and Gaia Surveys. I. 3D Extinction and Structure

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The 3D extinction and structure are studied for the Taurus, Orion, Perseus, and California molecular clouds based on the LAMOST spectroscopy. Stellar color excess is calculated with the intrinsic color index derived from the atmospheric parameters in the

The Optical to Infrared 0.6–5.3 μm Dust Extinction Law of the Milky Way with JWST NIRSpec: Westerlund 2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The interstellar extinction law is important for interpreting observations and inferring the properties of interstellar dust grains. Based on the 993 prism/CLEAR spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we investigate the 0.6–5.3 μ m ...
