Temperature fluctuations of interstellar dust grains
The temperatures of interstellar dust grains are analyzed using stochastic simulations, taking into account the grain composition and size and the discreteness of the photon flux. Grains of radii smaller than about 0.02 μm are found to exhibit large temperature fluctuations with narrow spikes following the absorption of UV photons. The temperatures of such grains may rise by a few × 10 K for ve...
متن کاملSmall and Very Small Interstellar Grains
This review summarizes the observational characteristics of those interstellar grains, which are prevented from entering the solar system by interactions with the heliopause. Such grains are typically less than 100 nm in radius and they reveal their presence by interstellar absorption at ultraviolet wavelengths and by non-equilibrium emissions in the red and near-infrared portions of the spectrum.
متن کاملDust Cluster Oscillation Spectrum in the Presence of Charge Fluctuations
The mode spectra of small N=3 clusters of dust particles with fluctuating charges are analysed. Building on previous results investigating the influence of charge variance and correlation, efforts were made to quantify these effects on mode spectra via affected mode properties. This allows a more quantitative assessment of results, which is useful particularly as the number of particles in a cl...
متن کاملQuantum fluctuations in very small laser diodes
Quantum fluctuations play a critical role in determining the steady-state and transient response of a laser when there is a small number of particles in the system. These fluctuations, and the fact that a lowest energy state of the system exists, can suppress lasing and enhance spontaneous emission around threshold. Dynamic switching between two characteristic system states can dominate the flu...
متن کاملDust charge fluctuations in a magnetized dusty plasma.
Charging currents of electrons and ions to a spherical dust grain in a uniform magnetized dusty plasma have been examined. It is found that the external magnetic field reduces the charging currents, thereby decreasing the dust charge fluctuation damping of a low-frequency electrostatic wave in a dusty plasma.
