Structure in the Interstellar-Extinction Curve

The Astrophysical Journal, 1971
Using photographic techniques, it was attempted to obtain spectra of the interstellar material at a resolution of about 5 A. Three classes of structures are discussed. It is pointed out that the optical observations can be extended into the UV with a resolution of 0.4 A using the OAO-C telescope.

Interstellar extinction by composite grains

, 2001
Recent studies indicate that interstellar grains are composites of very small individual particles of silicates and carbon glued together into an aggregate.

GALExtin: an alternative online tool to determine the interstellar extinction in the Milky Way

, 2021
International audienceEstimates of interstellar extinction are essential in a broad range of astronomical research. In the last decades, several maps and models of the large-scale interstellar extinction in the Galaxy have been published.

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

The 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 ...

What Is Space Bioethics?

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.

Evaluating maturity of organic matter in hydrated C1 and CM‐like clasts and a dehydrated clast within a polymict eucrite and a howardite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...

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

The 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 ...

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

Royal 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

Light‐Activated Protein‐Imprinted Hydrogels Capable of Translating Protein Surface Accessibility Into Missing‐Peptide Footprints

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Light‐activated protein‐imprinted PFPA‐functionalized hydrogels crosslink captured proteins and report protein surface accessibility as missing‐peptide patterns readable by standard LC‐MS/MS. Mass spectrometry (MS)‐based structural proteomics can reveal higher‐order structural features in complex biological samples, but many covalent footprinting and ...
