The shape and composition of interstellar silicate grains
We investigate the composition and shape distribution of silicate dust grains in the interstellar medium. The effects of the amount of magnesium and iron in the silicate lattice are studied in detail. We fit the spectral shape of the interstellar 10 µm extinction feature as observed towards the galactic center using various particle shapes and dust materials. We use very irregularly shaped coat...
متن کاملThe shape and composition of interstellar silicate grains ”
In the paper entitled ”The shape and composition of interstellar silicate grains” (A&A, 462, 667-676 (2007)), Min et al. explore non-spherical grain shape and composition in modeling the interstellar 10 and 20 μm extinction features. This progression towards more physically realistic models is vitally important to enabling valid comparisons between dust observations and laboratory measurements....
متن کاملInterstellar Grains – the 75
The year of 2005 marks the 75th anniversary since Trumpler (1930) provided the first definitive proof of interstellar grains by demonstrating the existence of general absorption and reddening of starlight in the galactic plane. This article reviews our progressive understanding of the nature of interstellar dust.
متن کاملInterstellar Grains
Overview Submicron solid particles are dispersed through interstellar gas. These interstellar grains absorb and scatter light, thus shielding some regions from ultraviolet radiation, but also limiting our ability to detect photons which have been emitted by astronomical objects. Dust grains reradiate absorbed energy in the in-frared, thus contributing to the overall emission spectrum of astrono...
متن کاملMoment equations for chemical reactions on interstellar dust grains
While most chemical reactions in the interstellar medium take place in the gas phase, those occurring on the surfaces of dust grains play an essential role. Such surface reactions include the catalytic production of molecular hydrogen as well as more complex reaction networks producing ice mantles and various organic molecules. Chemical models based on rate equations including both gas phase an...
