Grain alignment and dust evolution physics with polarisation (GRADE-POL). II. On the physical basis of Serkowski and super-Serkowski polarisation spectra
Le Ngoc Tram, Thiem Hoang, B-G Andersson +4
Optical-to-near-infrared interstellar polarisation, induced by aligned dust grains, generally follows a convex wavelength dependence, known as the Serkowski relation. However, obse…

Grain alignment and dust evolution physics with polarisation (GRADE-POL). I. Dust polarisation modelling for isolated starless cores
Le Ngoc Tram, Thiem Hoang, Alex Lazarian +6
The polarisation of light induced by aligned interstellar dust serves as a significant tool in investigating cosmic magnetic fields, dust properties, and poses a challenge in chara…
