2Mass two-color interstellar reddening lines: the band-width effect

open access: yes, 2020
The band-width effect on interstellar reddening lines in the J-H vs. H-Ks diagram of the 2MASS survey is investigated using synthetic color indices and color excesses based on the Kurucz model atmospheres. At large interstellar reddenings {EH-KS > 1-0)

Probing the Distinct Extinction Law of the Pillars of Creation in M16 with JWST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Investigating the extinction law in regions of high dust extinction, such as the Pillars of Creation within the M16 region, is crucial for understanding the densest parts of the interstellar medium (ISM).

The formation of molecular hydrogen in the interstellar medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
H2 is the most abundant molecule in the interstellar medium and forms on the surface of interstellar dust grains. Laboratory studies have been conducted of HD formation on a dust grain analogue, which is a highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite surface ...

Spectral energy distribution and interstellar reddening

open access: yes, 1987
Recent results on flux distribution of Be stars from 320 to 850nm are reviewed. It appears that data are available for only 10 to 15 percent of the objects recognized as 'normal' Be stars.

Mapping the differential reddening in globular clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We build differential-reddening maps for 66 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) with archival Hubble Space Telescope WFC/ACS F606W and F814W photometry. Because of the different GC sizes (characterized by the half-light radius Rh) and distances to the Sun ...

Exploring the Wolf Approach to Constraining NIR Extinction Laws in the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The viability of the star count (Wolf) method is assessed as a means of constraining the near-infrared (NIR) extinction law toward the Corona Australis molecular cloud. Using deep JHK _S photometry from the VISIONS survey, extinction maps with 1′ spatial

Star Classification Possibilities with the Gaia Spectrophotometers. III. The Classification Accuracy with Decontaminated BP/RP Spectra

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
A medium-band 12-color photometric system, based on the decontaminated Gaia BP/RP spectra, has been proposed in our Paper II. Here we analyze a possibility to apply some versions of this system for the determination of temperatures and gravities of stars

Benchmarking Differential Reddening in Front of Globular Clusters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Interstellar extinction is a major obstacle in determining accurate stellar parameters from photometry near the Galactic disk. It is especially true for globular clusters at low galactic latitudes, which suffer from significant amounts of spatially ...

A Study of Interstellar Reddening at High Galactic Latitudes [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1973
A series of finding lists of A stars in regions at high galactic latitudes has been published in the last few years. Strömgren four-color and Hβ measures have been made of stars in five of the regions, allowing the interstellar absorption in each to be calculated.

DIFFUSE INTERSTELLAR BAND 6202 ˚ A AS AN INDICATOR OF ORGANIC MATTER IN COSMOS: CEPHEID SPECTRA

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2019
We have described the method of investigation of the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 6202 ˚ A. This DIB is seen in the spectra of cepheid stars, and it is blended with two stellar lines of Ce II (6201.773 ˚ A) and Ni I (6204.6 ˚ A).
