Cosmological Obscuration by Galactic Dust: Effects of Dust Evolution
We explore the effects of dust in cosmologically distributed intervening galaxies on the high redshift universe using a generalised model where dust content evolves with cosmic time. The absorbing galaxies are modelled as exponential disks which form coevally, maintain a constant space density and evolve in dust content at a rate that is uniform throughout. We find that the inclusion of moderat...
متن کاملLaboratory-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 کاملThe effect of stellar evolution on SiC dust grain sizes
Stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) produce dust in their circumstellar shells. The nature of the dust-forming environment is influenced by the evolution of the stars, in terms of both chemistry and density, leading to an evolution in the nature of the dust that is produced. Carbon-rich AGB stars are known to produce silicon carbide (SiC). Furthermore, observations of the ∼11μm SiC featu...
متن کاملMoving Mesh Methods Based on Moving
Several versions of a moving mesh method are developed based on a mesh spatial smoothing technique and on the moving mesh PDEs derived in a previous paper. These versions are quite simple and easy to program. They are applied to three benchmark one-dimensional problems which show diierent solution behaviour. The numerical results clearly demonstrate that the present methods are capable of accur...
متن کاملSimulating a White Dwarf-dominated Galactic Halo
Observational evidence has suggested the possibility of a Galactic halo which is dominated by white dwarfs (WDs). While debate continues concerning the interpretation of this evidence, it is clear that an initial mass function (IMF) biased heavily toward WD precursors (1<m/M⊙<8), at least in the early Universe, would be necessary in generating such a halo. Within the framework of homogeneous, c...
