On buckyonions as an interstellar grain component
The carrier of the 2175 Å interstellar extinction feature remains unidentified since its first detection over 40 yr ago. In recent years, carbon buckyonions have been proposed as a carrier of this feature, based on the close similarity between the electronic transition spectra of buckyonions and the 2175 Å interstellar feature. We examine this hypothesis by modelling the interstellar extinction...
متن کاملApproaching the Interstellar Grain Organic Refractory Component
Infrared spectra have been obtained for laboratory residues of photoprocessed low-temperature ices which have been exposed to long-term solar ultraviolet radiation on the EURECA satellite. This is an analog to the ultraviolet processing of interstellar dust mantles in diffuse clouds after leaving molecular clouds. The 3.4 mm absorption features of these organic materials match those of the diff...
متن کاملModelling of surface chemistry on an inhomogeneous interstellar grain
Context. Many interstellar molecules are formed through grain surface reactions. These reactions are usually modelled using rate equations, while considering a homogeneous grain with only one type of binding site for each species. However, amorphicity and the irregular character of interstellar dust grains make inhomogeneous grain surfaces much more likely. Aims. The aim of this study is to inv...
متن کاملAre Silicon Nanoparticles an Interstellar Dust Component ?
Silicon nanoparticles (SNPs) with oxide coatings have been proposed as the source of the observed ““ extended red emission ÏÏ (ERE) from interstellar dust. We calculate the thermal emission expected from such particles, both in a reÑection nebula such as NGC 2023 and in the di†use interstellar medium (ISM). It is shown that SNPs (both neutral and charged) would produce a strong emission 2 featu...
متن کاملCarbonaceous onion-like particles as a component of interstellar dust
The search for the carrier of the 217.5 nm absorption feature in the interstellar extinction curve has been undertaken for the past few decades. We have previously discussed a carbonaceous material named quenched carbonaceous composite (QCC) as a laboratory analog for the interstellar material producing this absorption feature. QCC is condensed from an ejecta of hydrocarbon plasma. High-resolut...
