Galaxies decomposition with spiral arms -- II: A multiwavelength case study of M 51

Alexander A. Marchuk, Ilia V. Chugunov, George A. Gontcharov +7

Spiral structure can contribute significantly to a galaxy's luminosity. However, only rarely are proper photometric models of spiral arms used in decompositions. As we show in the…

Evolution of dust grain size distribution and grain porosity in galaxies

Hiroyuki Hirashita, Vladimir B. Il'in

The radiative properties of interstellar dust are affected not only by the grain size distribution but also by the grain porosity. We develop a model for the evolution of size-depe…
