Rotational Emission from Ultrasmall Interstellar Dust Grains
Bruce T. Draine, Dept. of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University
Draine & Lazarian (1998b) have predicted the rotational emission spectrum for
dust in a number of different environments. The spectra can be downloaded:
-
emit4.jnu.cnm_a emission spectrum for dust in cool diffuse HI
(Cold Neutral Medium)
-
emit4.jnu.wnm_a emission spectrum for dust in warm diffuse HI
(Warm Neutral Medium)
-
emit4.jnu.wim_a emission spectrum for dust in warm ionized HI
(Warm Ionized Medium)
-
emit4.jnu.mol_a emission spectrum for dust in diffuse molecular cloud.
-
emit4.jnu.drk_a emission spectrum for dust in cold, dark molecular cloud.
-
emit4.jnu.rn_a emission spectrum for dust in a reflection nebula.
A plot of the
Rotational emission from interstellar
grains in diffuse HI gas is compared to observations of dust-correlated
microwave emission.
