Astrophysics of Dust in Cold Clouds
Dust plays an increasingly important role in astrophysics. Historically, dust was first recognized for its obscuring effects, and the need to correct observed intensities for attenuation by dust continues today. But with the increasing sensitivity of IR, FIR, and submm telescopes, dust is increasingly important as a diagnostic, with its emission spectrum providing an indicator of physical condi...
متن کاملCold dust and molecular line emission
In this paper we present new observations of the interstellar medium in the non-interacting edge-on galaxy NGC5907. We have observed the J = 2 − 1 and J = 1 − 0 lines of the 12CO molecule and radio continuum emission at λ 1.2mm. The distribution of the molecular gas (as traced by CO) shows amaximum in the central region and a ring or spiral armat r ∼ 7 kpc. Further analysis of themajor axis dis...
متن کاملDust Structure and Composition Within Molecular Clouds and Cores
Title of Dissertation: Dust Structure and Composition Within Molecular Clouds and Cores Nicholas Lane Chapman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor Lee G. Mundy Department of Astronomy We observed three molecular clouds and four isolated cores at wavelengths from 3.6− 24 μm. The clouds we observed were Ophiuchus, Perseus, and Serpens and the cores were L204C-2, L1152, ...
متن کاملScattering from dust in molecular clouds: Constraining the dust grain size distribution through near-infrared cloudshine and infrared coreshine
Context. The largest grains (0.5-1 μm) in the interstellar size distribution are efficient in scattering nearand mid-infrared radiation. These wavelengths are therefore particularly well suited to probe the still uncertain high-end of the size distribution. Aims. We investigate the change in appearance of a typical low-mass molecular core from the Ks (2.2 μm) band to the Spitzer IRAC 3.6 and 8 ...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Gas and Dust in Molecular Clouds : L 977
We report observations of the J = (1–0) CO molecular emission line toward the L977 molecular cloud. To study the correlation between CO emission and dust extinction we constructed a Gaussian smoothed map of the infrared extinction measured by Alves et al. (1998) at the same angular resolution (50) as our molecular–line observations. This enabled a direct comparison of CO integrated intensities ...
