DIBs, Interstellar Dust, and Extinction [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013
AbstractThe relationship between DIBs and dust is still unknown. The correlation between reddening and DIB strength means that the DIBs are mixed in with the dust and gas in interstellar clouds. The DIBs are relatively stronger in the diffuse interstellar medium than in dense clouds.

The Infrared Complex Refractive Index and Band Strengths of Coronene Thin Films

The Astrophysical Journal
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have long been theorized to be present in a multitude of interstellar environments. The radio-frequency detections of specific cyanosubstituted PAH molecules in the Taurus Molecular Cloud have provided new ...

Extinction Distributions in Nearby Star-resolved Galaxies. I. M31

The Astronomical Journal
An extinction distribution of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is constructed with member stars as tracers by fitting multiband photometric data from UKIRT/WFCAM, Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System 1, and Gaia DR3.

Correlations between Dust Extinction Features across All Wavelength Scales: From Diffuse Interstellar Bands to R(V)

The Astrophysical Journal
Understanding variations in the dust extinction curve is imperative for using dust as a tracer of local structure in the interstellar medium, understanding dust chemistry, and performing extinction corrections.

Foreground Dust Properties toward the Cluster NGC 7380

The Astronomical Journal
Using starlight polarization, we present the properties of foreground dust toward cluster NGC 7380 embedded in H ii region Sh 2-142. Observations of starlight polarization are carried out in four filters using an imaging polarimeter equipped with a 104 ...

Expanded Sample of Small Magellanic Cloud Ultraviolet Dust Extinction Curves: Correlations between the 2175 Å Bump, q PAH, Ultraviolet Extinction Shape, and N(H i)/A(V)

The Astrophysical Journal
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) shows a large variation in ultraviolet (UV) dust extinction curves, ranging from Milky Way (MW) like to significantly steeper curves with no detectable 2175 Å bump.

Extinction of Taurus, Orion, Perseus and California Molecular Clouds Based on the LAMOST, 2MASS, and Gaia Surveys. II. The Extinction Law

The Astronomical Journal
The extinction law from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR; 0.2–24 μ m) is determined by relying on the blue-edge method and color-excess ratios for some nearby molecular clouds, from the low-mass star-forming region to the massive star-forming region. The
