Behavior of the reflection function of a plane-parallel medium for directions of incidence and reflection tending to horizontal directions

J. W. Hovenier D. M. Stam

The atmospheres of (exo) planets and moons, as well as reflection nebulae, contain in general independently scattering particles in random orientation and are often supposed to be…

Scattering matrices and expansion coefficients of Martian analogue palagonite particles

E. C. Laan, H. Volten, D. M. Stam +3

We present measurements of ratios of elements of the scattering matrix of Martian analogue palagonite particles for scattering angles ranging from 3 to 174 degrees and a wavelength…

The infrared emission spectra of compositionally inhomogeneous aggregates composed of irregularly shaped constituents

M. Min, J. W. Hovenier, L. B. F. M. Waters +1

In order to deduce properties of dust in astrophysical environments where dust growth through aggregation is important, knowledge of the way aggregated particles interact with radi…

The shape and composition of interstellar silicate grains

M. Min, L. B. F. M. Waters, A. de Koter +3

We investigate the composition and shape distribution of silicate dust grains in the interstellar medium. The effect of the amount of magnesium in the silicate lattice is studied.…

The 10 micron amorphous silicate feature of fractal aggregates and compact particles with complex shapes

M. Min, C. Dominik, J. W. Hovenier +2

We model the 10 micron absorption spectra of nonspherical particles composed of amorphous silicate. We consider two classes of particles, compact ones and fractal aggregates compos…

The composition and size distribution of the dust in the coma of comet Hale-Bopp

M. Min, J. W. Hovenier, A. de Koter +2

We discuss the composition and size distribution of the dust in the coma of comet Hale-Bopp. We do this by fitting simultaneously the infrared emission spectrum measured by the inf…
