Interstellar Polarization Survey. III. Relation between Optical Polarization and Reddening in the General Interstellar Medium [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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]

open access: yesJournal 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 Ultraviolet to Mid-infrared Extinction Law of the Taurus Molecular Cloud Based on the Gaia DR3, GALEX, APASS, Pan-STARRS1, 2MASS, and WISE Surveys

open access: yesThe 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]

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesThe 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 Optical to Infrared Extinction Law of Magellanic Clouds Based on Red Supergiants and Classical Cepheids

open access: yesThe 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
