A Unified Model of Interstellar Extinction and Polarization. I [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1965
The Most Completely Observed Characteristics of Interstellar Grains are their ability to dim and polarize the light of distant stars in our own galaxy. The principal limitation in previous theoretical models of interstellar dust clouds has been the fact that the extinction and polarization have been calculated for different particles, the connection ...

Emergence of Optical Activity and Surface Morphology Changes in Racemic Amino Acid Films Under Circularly Polarized Lyman‐α Light Irradiation

open access: yesChirality, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2024.
The photoreaction induced by Lyman‐α circularly polarized light (CPL) irradiation in racemic alanine film is more complex than simple preferential photolysis of enantiopure alanine molecules, and formation of larger molecules is observed. Circular networks of order of 100 nm scale are introduced in the alanine film surface by the irradiation.

The interstellar extinction to V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's object)

open access: yes, 2002
We present an 8–13$~\mu$m spectrum of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's object), which shows clear evidence for the presence of a silicate absorption feature at 9.7$~\mu$m.

The Optical Extinction Law Depends on Magnetic Field Orientation: The RV–ψ Relation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
For aspherical interstellar dust grains aligned with their short axes preferentially parallel to the local magnetic field, the amount of extinction per grain is larger when the magnetic field is along the line of sight and smaller when in the plane of ...

Analyzing dust particle size and size distribution on extracted particles by SEM and comparing with light scattering techniques

open access: yesPlasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2024.
A comparison is presented between Kinetic Mie Polarimetry and Scanning Electron Microscopy of plasma‐grown amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a‐C:H) particles. The analysis includes particle size distributions, which show that the standard deviation grows linearly, resulting in a constant shape.

An Empirical Extinction Curve Revealed by Gaia XP Spectra and LAMOST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a direct measurement of extinction curves using corrected Gaia XP spectra of the common sources in Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7. Our analysis of approximately 370,000 high-quality samples yielded a high-precision average extinction curve for the ...

Variations of the Ratio of Total-To-selective Extinction in the Galaxy

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2003
The results of the study of variations of total-to-selective extinction RV near the Galactic plane (-12° ≤ b ≤+12°) are presented. It is shown that variations of RV range from 1.9 to 3.4 and it is not possible to determine its typical value for the ...

VUV spectroscopy of carbon dust analogs: contribution to interstellar extinction

open access: yes, 2016
Context. A full spectral characterization of carbonaceous dust analogs is necessary to understand their potential as carriers of observed astronomical spectral signatures such as the ubiquitous UV bump at 217.5 nm and the far-ultraviolet (FUV) rise ...

Estimation of Host Galaxy Extinction for SNe Ia

open access: yesGalaxies
Type Ia supernovae are used as fundamental probes of the cosmological parameters, based on a tight empirical relation between their peak luminosity and the width of their light curve. However, it has been recognized that SNe Ia are not “standard” candles,
