Laboratory-based grain-shape models for simulating dust infrared spectra
Context. Analysis of thermal dust emission spectra for dust mineralogy and physical grain properties depends on comparison spectra, which are either laboratory-measured infrared extinction spectra or calculated extinction cross sections based on certain grain models. Often, the agreement between these two kinds of spectra, if available, is not yet satisfactory because of the strong influence of...
متن کاملMid-infrared Spectra of Dust Debris around Main-sequence Stars
We report spectra obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope in the λ = 14 – 35 μm range of 19 nearby main-sequence stars with infrared excesses. The six stars with strong dust emission show no recognizable spectral features, suggesting that the bulk of the emitting particles have diameters larger than 10 μm. If the observed dust results from collisional grinding of larger solids, we infer minim...
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 کاملInfrared Spectra as Chemical Descriptors for QSAR Models
Infrared spectra (IR) were used as regressors for a number of QSARs and compared with both mechanistically oriented descriptors and heuristic "chemically neutral" descriptors (modified adjacency matrices eigenvalues). IR spectra usually gave results inferior to those obtained with the mechanistically driven descriptors, with one notable exception, and comparable to those obtained by adjacency m...
متن کاملThe dust-eliminated shape of quasar spectra in the near-infrared: a hidden part of the big blue bump
The near-infrared shape of the big blue bump component in quasar spectra has been essentially unknown. It usually cannot be observed directly, due to the strong hot dust emission which dominates quasar spectra longward of ∼1μm. However this is quite an important part of the spectrum theoretically. At least bare disk models provide quite a robust prediction for the overall continuum shape in the...
