Scattering by Interstellar Dust Grains. I. Optical and Ultraviolet [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2003
Scattering and absorption properties at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths are calculated for an interstellar dust model consisting of carbonaceous grains and amorphous silicate grains. Polarization as a function of scattering angle is calculated for selected wavelengths from the IR to the vacuum UV.

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 241-271, February 2026.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

The nature of interstellar dust as revealed by light scattering

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2011
Interstellar dust was first identified through the extinction that it causes of optical starlight. Initially, observational and theoretical studies of extinction were made to identify simple ways of removing the effect of extinction.

Interstellar Scattering and the Sizes of Astronomical Masers

The Astrophysical Journal, 1972
The suggestion is explored that scattering by inhomogeneities in the distribution of electrons causes astronomical masers to appear larger than their actual sizes. It is shown that neither scattering near the source nor scattering in the intervening medium is sufficiently strong to produce this effect.

Exploring the Effects of Reduced Gravitational Field Impacts on Convective Heat Transfer: A Comprehensive Review

Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 764-774, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This review explores the impact of gravitational instability on convective heat transfer, integrating existing research results and theoretical models. Gravitational instability is vital in promoting or hindering convective actions in different systems, such as atmospheric events, ocean currents, and industrial processes.

Refractive and diffractive scattering in the interstellar medium

The Astrophysical Journal, 1986
Radio wave propagation through electron-density fluctuations in the ISM is studied. Observable propagation effects are explored using a one-dimensional thin-screen model for the turbulent medium. Diffraction caused by stochastic small-scale irregularities is combined with refraction from deterministic large-scale irregularities. Some of the effects are

NE2025: An Updated Electron Density Model for the Galactic Interstellar Medium

The Astrophysical Journal
Free electrons in the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM) disperse and scatter coherent radio waves, by amounts that depend on the distance to the radio source.

On the role of stochastic Fermi acceleration in setting the dissipation scale of turbulence in the interstellar medium

, 2007
We consider the dissipation by Fermi acceleration of magnetosonic turbulence in the Reynolds Layer of the interstellar medium. The scale in the cascade at which electron acceleration via stochastic Fermi acceleration (STFA) becomes comparable to further ...

Redeveloping a CLEAN Deconvolution Algorithm for Scatter-broadened Radio Pulsar Signals

The Astrophysical Journal
Broadband radio waves emitted from pulsars are distorted and delayed as they propagate toward the Earth due to interactions with the free electrons that compose the interstellar medium (ISM), with lower radio frequencies being more impacted than higher ...

The 2200 A bump and the UV extinction curve

, 2012
The 2200 A bump is a major figure of interstellar extinction. Extinction curves with no bump however exist and are, with no exception, linear from the near-infrared down to 2500 A at least, often over all the visible-UV spectrum.
