We have calculated the opacity as resulting from different interstellar grain models, molecules, atoms, and ions. The resulting opacities have been applied to a numerical code used to follow the thermal evolution of a contracting cloud in one dimension. An exact analytical and computational developments of both Mie theory for isolated grains and Güttler's formulae for composite grain models have been used to calculate the extinction coefficients. We have studied two models of composite grain and three models of isolated grain. The opacity of interstellar grains has been calculated in the temperature range 10–1500 K. The molecular opacity is splitted into continuous and line opacities. The different sources of continuous opacity have been studied. The line opacity has also been included. The atomic opacities are also considered. The hydrodynamical equations are solved explicitly but the energy and Poisson equations are solved implicitly.It has been found that the thermal evolution during contraction of protostellar clouds is sensitive to both: the assumed grain models and the considered chemical composition. A cloud of an initial temperature of 10 K collapsed to a stage in which the temperature increases to 91 000 K and the density reached to 0.16 g cm–3. 相似文献

We have developed a model for reflection nebulae around luminous infrared sources embedded in dense dust clouds. The aim of this study is to determine the sizes of the scattering grains. In our analysis, we have adopted an MRN-like power-law size distribution (Mathis, Rumpl, and Nordsieck) of graphite and silicate grains, but other current dust models would give results which were substantially the same. In the optically thin limit, the intensity of the scattered light is proportional to the dust column density, while in the optically thick limit, it reflects the grain albedo. The results show that the shape of the infrared spectrum is the result of a combination of the scattering properties of the dust, the spectrum of the illuminating source, and foreground extinction, while geometry plays a minor role. Comparison of our model results with infrared observations of the reflection nebula surrounding OMC-2/IRS 1 shows that either a grain size distribution like that found in the diffuse interstellar medium, or one consisting of larger grains, can explain the observed shape of the spectrum. However, the absolute intensity level of the scattered light, as well as the observed polarization, requires large grains (approximately 5000 angstroms). By adding water ice mantles to the silicate and graphite cores, we have modeled the 3.08 micrometers ice band feature, which has been observed in the spectra of several infrared reflection nebulae. We show that this ice band arises naturally in optically thick reflection nebulae containing ice-coated grains. We show that the shape of the ice band is diagnostic of the presence of large grains, as previously suggested by Knacke and McCorkle. Comparison with observations of the BN/KL reflection nebula in the OMC-1 cloud shows that large ice grains (approximately 5000 angstroms) contribute substantially to the scattered light. 相似文献

The profile of the absorption feature at 2200 Å has been calculated for model grains of graphite, graphite core-dirty ice mantle and silicate. They are compared with the observed profile obtained by Bless and Savage from a number of early type stars. We have also shown that it is unlikely that the radiation damage of silicates in Interstellar Space can also contribute to the absorption feature at 2200 Å. Lastly, we have discussed briefly how one can meet the objections that have been raised on the silicate model. 相似文献

The extinction curves of single clouds, seen towards the stars HD 147165, 179406 and 202904, have been modelled using various mixtures containing both the bare and inhomogeneous (composite and/or multilayer) grains. It has been shown that the models composed of the bare graphite and silicate grains together with the multilayer grains containing silicates, organic refractory and water ice, are more useful in explaining extinction under the reduced cosmic abundances. The models based on Mathis' composite grains or on Greenberg & Li's core-mantle grains can also provide quite good fits of the extinction and the measured scattering parameters, but still require an excessive amount of carbon which results in too large a C/O ratio. The inhomogeneous grains essentially contribute to the extinction in practically the whole wavelength range of our extinction curves. As a rule, such grains have quite wide size distributions, centred at around 100 nm, although graphite grains are mainly of small sizes. 相似文献

Analytical approximations used often in the literature for calculating energy rates emitted by dust grains in infrared are discussed. Comparisons with correct complete formulations are made for three grain models: (1) pure graphite, (2) ice mantle-graphite core, (3) silicates. -1 and -1 dependences for the average effective emissivity of such grains are used. We find that for silicate and graphite grains the simplified approximations are valid only when accuracies between 10% and 50% are required and only for grain temperatures higher than 80 K. At lower temperatures the validity of the approximations fails for the graphite particle while it is variable for the silicate dust grain. The ice core mantle particles can instead be treated with approximated formulae without introducing appreciable errors.Paper presented at the Symposium on Solid State Astrophysics, held at the University College, Cardiff, Wales, between 9–12 July, 1974. 相似文献

The absorption features of ice at 3µm and of silicate at 10 and 20µm as well as the linear polarization across it have been calculated. The interpretations of data for protostellar objects BN and AFGL 2591 are made.The model of partially aligned spinning spheroidal grains with the Purcell's suprathermal alignment mechanism and the power law size distribution are considered. Core-mantle, porous and composite particles are investigated in the Rayleigh approximation. In the case of composite and porous grains the effective refractive indices are computed with the approximate Bruggeman rule.The influence of grain chemical composition, elongation and structure has been investigated. The distinctions in polarization between composite and core-mantle models are found. The mixing of grain materials smooths the individual spectral features of chemical components. The adding of graphite causes the shift of the 10µm peak position to shorter wavelengths. When the fraction of graphite increases, the peak at 20µm decreases and shifts to shorter wavelengths. The increase of elongation reduces the negative polarization at the 3µm feature, shifts the 10µm and 20µm peak positions to longer wavelengths, and raises the strength of the 20µm band. The porosity leads to similar effects.It was found that the studied grain models are in good agreement with observational data for BN and AFGL 2591 objects. The absence of polarization excess near 3µm for AFGL 2591 is attributable to a decrease in elongation of large grains as a result of coagulation. The attention is attracted to the problem of real distribution of the interstellar dust grains over the elongation parameter. The determination this distribution function and the study of its evolution in the processes of accretion and coagulation are necessary. 相似文献

Planck mean absorption cross-sections have been computed for spherical grains composed of graphite, iron, ice, olivine, amorphous quartz and a lunar silicate. Experimentally determined infrared optical constants have been used for all these materials. Ice mantle particles and planetesimal particles (iron core and olivine mantle) have also been considered with values of outer and inner radii covering a wide range of astrophysical conditions.The results given both graphically and in a tabular form are discussed and compared with those of other authors. The relationships of mantle and core properties are also critically discussed. 相似文献

The expected intensity distribution of the infrared radiation in the solar neighborhood from the grain models of dirty ice, graphite and graphite core-dirty ice mantle has been calculated. It is found that the expected intensity from grain models at 100 agrees reasonably well with the observations of Hoffmann and Frederick. 相似文献

Interstellar extinction curves obtained from the ‘extinction without standard’ method were used to constrain the dust characteristics
in the mean ISM (R
V
= 3.1), along the lines of sight through a high latitude diffuse molecular cloud towards HD 210121 (R
V
= 2.1) and in a dense interstellar environment towards the cluster NGC 1977 (R
V
= 6.42). We have used three-component dust models comprising silicate, graphite and very small carbonaceous grains (polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons) following the grain size distributions introduced by Li & Draine in 2001. It is shown that oxygen,
carbon and silicon abundances derived from our models are closer with the available elemental abundances for the dust grains
in the ISM if F & G type stars atmospheric abundances are taken for the ISM than the solar. The importance of very small grains
in modelling the variation of interstellar extinction curves has been investigated. Grain size distributions and elemental
abundances locked up in dust are studied and compared at different interstellar environments using these three extinction
curves. We present the albedo and the scattering asymmetry parameter evaluated from optical to extreme-UV wavelengths for
the proposed dust models. 相似文献

The water ice and silicate dust bands centered at about 3 and 10 μm, respectively, are simultaneously observed in the spectra of several objects. So far the wavelength dependence of the polarization
in both bands has been modeled using two-layer spheroids, with the shape of the silicate core being confocal to that of the
ice mantle. We show that nonconfocality of the spheroidal core and mantle boundaries changes fundamentally the wavelength
dependence of the polarization within the 10-μm silicate band and affects significantly the polarization within the 3-μm water ice band, while the extinction profiles of these bands remain essentially unchanged. Since the results have been obtained
for a theoretical model, we discuss their applicability and significance for cosmic dust grains.

We have investigated the optical properties of the carbon dust grains in the envelopes around carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars, paying close attention to the infrared observations of the stars and the laboratory-measured optical data of the candidate dust grain materials. We have compared the radiative transfer model results with the observed spectral energy distributions of the stars including IRAS Point Source Catalog and IRAS Low Resolution Spectrograph data. We have deduced an opacity function of amorphous carbon dust grains from model fitting with infrared carbon stars. From the opacity function, we have derived the optical constants of the AMC grains. The optical constants satisfy the Kramers–Kronig relation and produce the opacity function that fits the observations of infrared carbon stars better than previous works in the wide wavelength range 1–1000 μm. We have used simple mixtures of the AMC and silicon carbide grains for modelling. We have compared the contributions that AMC and SiC grains make to the opacity for the cases of simple mixtures of them and spherical core–mantle type grains consisting of a SiC core and an AMC mantle . 相似文献

Abstract— Collision experiments and measurements of viscoelastic properties were performed involving an interstellar organic material analogue to investigate the growth of organic grains in the protosolar nebula. The organic material was found to be stickiest at a radius of between 2.3 and 3.0 AU, with a maximum sticking velocity of 5 m s?1 for millimeter‐size organic grains. This stickiness is considered to have resulted in the very rapid coagulation of organic grain aggregates and subsequent formation of planetesimals in the early stage of the turbulent accretion disk. The planetesimals formed in this region appear to be represent achondrite parent bodies. In contrast, the formation of planetesimals at <2.1 and >3.0 AU begins with the establishment of a passive disk because silicate and ice grains are not as sticky as organic grains. 相似文献

A self-consistent explanation for the width, strength, and position of spectral features which may be diagnostic of the structure and composition of circumstellar and interstellar silicate grains is presented based on a long series of laboratory experiments using simple oxide analogs. The ratio of the integrated absorption strength of the grains near 10 to that near 20 is shown to decrease monotonically with increased processing (e.g., annealing/hydration) and this ratio may, therefore, be diagnostic of the relative age of the silicate. The oxidation state of iron in the grains is directly related to both the near-infrared grain opacity and enhanced absorption in the ultraviolet. The oxidation state of both iron and silicon is directly related to the rate of nucleation, growth, and processing in a circumstellar outflow, as well as to the processing history of the grain after it reaches the interstellar medium. Other diagnostic indicators of the average silicon oxidation state, degree of structural polymerization and dispersion in the average degree of structural polymerization are discussed. 相似文献

Numerical models have been constructed to represent probable conditions in the primitive solar nebula. A two solar mass fragment of a collapsing interstellar gas cloud has been represented by a uniformly rotating sphere. Two cases have been considered: one in which the internal density of the sphere is uniform and the other in which the density falls linearly from a central value to zero at the surface (the uniform and linear models). These assumptions served to define the distribution of angular momentum per unit mass with mass fraction. The spheres were flattened into disks, and models of the disks were found in which there was a force balance in the radial and vertical directions, subject to certain approximations, and with everywhere the assigned values of angular momentum per unit mass. The radial pressure gradient of the gas was included in the force balance. The energy transport in the vertical direction involved convection and radiative equilibrium; the principal contributors to opacity at lower temperatures were metallic iron grains and ice. The models contained two convection zones, an inner one due to the dissociation of hydrogen molecules, and an outer one in which there was a high opacity due to metallic iron grains. The characteristic semithickness of the disks ranged from about 0.1 astronomical units near the center to about one astronomical unit near the exterior. Characteristic angular momentum transport times and radiation lifetimes for these models of the initial solar nebula were estimated. Both types of characteristic lifetime were as short as a few years near the inner part of the models, and became about 104 years or longer at distances greater than ten astronomical units. 相似文献

A solid-state feature was detected at around 2175 cm−1 towards 30 embedded young stellar objects in spectra obtained using the Infrared Spectrometer and Array Camera at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. We present results from laboratory studies of CO adsorbed at the surface of zeolite wafers, where absorption bands were detected at 2177 and 2168 cm−1 (corresponding to CO chemisorbed at the zeolite surface) and 2130 cm−1 (corresponding to CO physisorbed at the zeolite surface), providing an excellent match to the observational data. We propose that the main carrier of the 2175-band is CO chemisorbed at bare surfaces of dust grains in the interstellar medium. This result provides the first direct evidence that gas–surface interactions do not have to result in the formation of ice mantles on interstellar dust. The strength of the 2175-band is estimated to be ∼4 × 10−19 cm molecule−1 . The abundance of CO adsorbed at bare grain surfaces ranges from 0.06 to 0.16 relative to H2 O ice, which is, at most, half of the abundance (relative to H2 O ice) of CO residing in H2 O-dominated ice environments. These findings imply that interstellar grains have a large (catalytically active) surface area, providing a refuge for interstellar species. Consequently, the potential exists for heterogeneous chemistry to occur involving CO molecules in unique surface chemistry pathways not currently considered in gas grain models of the interstellar medium. 相似文献

The mechanism and the rate of formation of H2 molecules from adsorbed H atoms on interstellar ice grains (or on ice coated non-icy grains) are investigated assuming that the ice is not crystalline but amorphous. Using the available theory and experimental data it is concluded that, in contrast to crystalline grains, the mobility of the adsorbed atoms on amorphous grains at temperatures of 10–20 K is exceedingly low so that the controlling factor is the probability that two H atoms are accidentally adsorbed within a site or two of each other. The rate of H2 formation on ice grains per unit volume is much lower than previously estimated and is very sensitive to temperature. This conclusion applies not only to pure amorphous ice investigated here, but also to impure ice and to other grains (carbon or silicates) which would not be crystalline, such as graphite, but may be highly imperfect or actually amorphous aggregates of atoms or molecules.It is further shown that the presence of amorphous ice and clathrate grains in the early solar system would play a significant role in our understanding of the compositional anomalies in the Earth's atmosphere. The lifetime of these grains would be strongly affected by the absence of crystallinity.Invited contribution to the Proceedings of a Workshop onThermodynamics and Kinetics of Dust Formation in the Space Medium held at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, 6–8 September, 1978. 相似文献

Profiles of the 4430 band are calculated for resonant absorbers distributed within graphite particles, silicate particles and solid H2 grains. The sizes of grains adopted are those which give agreement with the interstellar extinction. Only in the latter two cases can satisfactory agreement be obtained with recent observational data. 相似文献

Abstract— The Nova 001 [= Nuevo Mercurio (b)] and Nullarbor 010 meteorites are ureilites, both of which contain euhedral graphite crystals. The bulk of the meteorites are olivine (Fo79) and pyroxenes (Wo9En73Fs18, Wo3En77Fs20), with a few percent graphite and minor amounts of troilite, Ni-Fe metal, and possibly diamond. The rims of olivine grains are reduced (to Fo91) and contain abundant blebs of Fe metal. Silicate mineral grains are equant, anhedral, up to 2 mm across, and lack obvious preferred orientations. Euhedral graphite crystals (to 1 mm x 0.3 mm) are present at silicate grain boundaries, along boundaries and protruding into the silicates, and entirely within silicate mineral grains. Graphite euhedra are also present as radiating clusters and groups of parallel plates grains embedded in olivine; no other ureilite has comparable graphite textures. Minute lumps within graphite grains are possibly diamond, inferred to be a result of shock. Other shock effects are limited to undulatory extinction and fracturing. Both ureilites have been weathered significantly. Considering their similar mineralogies, identical mineral compositions, and identical unusual textures, Nova 001 and Nullarbor 010 are probably paired. Based on olivine compositions, Nova 001 and Nullarbor 010 are in Group 1 (FeO-rich) of Berkley et al. (1980). Silicate mineral compositions are consistent with those of other known ureilites. The presence of euhedral graphite crystals within the silicate minerals is consistent with an igneous origin, and suggests that large proportions of silicate magma were present locally and crystallized in situ. 相似文献

Abstract— Experimental studies of coalescence between Mg grains and SiO grains in smoke reveal the direct production of crystalline forsterite grains. The present results also show that different materials can be produced by grain‐grain collisions, which have been considered one of the models of grain formation in the interstellar medium. The fundamentals of coalescence growth in smoke, which have been developed in our series of experiments, are presented in this paper. Mg2Si polyhedral grains were obtained in a Mg grain‐rich atmosphere. Mg2SiO4 polyhedral grains were obtained in a SiO grain‐rich atmosphere. The IR spectra of the resultant grains showed the characteristics of crystalline forsterite. 相似文献
