Interstellar Polarization Survey. III. Relation between Optical Polarization and Reddening in the General Interstellar Medium [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Optical starlight can be partially polarized while propagating through the dusty, magnetized interstellar medium (ISM). The polarization efficiency describes the polarization intensity fraction per reddening unit, P _V / E ( B − V ), related to the ...

Distribution of Interstellar Reddening Material in the Galactic Plane [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1987 By using the recently determined color excess and distance data of classical cepheids by Kim(1985), the distribution of interstellar reddening material was studied to see the general picture of the average rate of interstellar absorption out to about 7 ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interstellar-dust extinction law is essential for interpreting observations. In this work, we investigate the ultraviolet (UV)–mid-infrared (IR) extinction law of the Taurus molecular cloud and its possible variations. We select 504,988 dwarf stars (4200

HST NIC3 Photometry of Metal-Rich Globular Clusters Palomar 6, Liller 1, and 47 Tuc (NGC 104) [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 We present HST NIC3 photometry of metal-rich globular clusters Palomar 6, Liller 1 and 47 Tuc (NGC 104). We discuss the interstellar reddening law for the HST NICMOS F110W/F160W photometric system which depends on the temperature of the source.

Presumed Detection of C5 Molecule in the Interstellar Medium
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The paper suggests the presence of the carbon chain C _5 molecule in translucent, interstellar H i clouds. This species, the only five atom interstellar molecule, observable in dark, translucent clouds, seems to be observable in reasonably dense clouds ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Precise interstellar dust extinction laws are important to infer the intrinsic properties of reddened objects and correctly interpret observations. In this work, we attempt to measure the optical–infrared extinction laws of the Large and Small Magellanic

Interstellar velocity components towards reddened stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000 ABSTRA C T The paper analyses the profiles of interstellar features observed towards heavily reddened stars. All the features show spectacular Doppler-splitting but the radial velocities of the single components as well as the number of such components vary from feature to feature in the same spectrum.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dust extinction is one of the fundamental measurements of dust grain sizes, compositions, and shapes. Most of the wavelength-dependent variations seen in Milky Way extinction are strongly correlated with the single parameter R ( V ) = A ( V )/ E ( B − V )

SpeX Near-infrared Spectroscopic Extinction Curves in the Milky Way
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Interstellar dust extinction curves provide valuable information about dust properties, including the composition and size of the dust grains, and are essential to correct observations for the effects of interstellar dust.
