Thermodynamics and Charging of Interstellar Iron Nanoparticles
Brandon S. Hensley, B. T. Draine
Interstellar iron in the form of metallic iron nanoparticles may constitute a component of the interstellar dust. We compute the stability of iron nanoparticles to sublimation in t…

Modeling the Anomalous Microwave Emission with Spinning Nanoparticles: No PAHs Required
Brandon S. Hensley, B. T. Draine
In light of recent observational results indicating an apparent lack of correlation between the Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) and mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromati…

Quantum Suppression of Alignment in Ultrasmall Grains: Microwave Emission from Spinning Dust will be Negligibly Polarized
B. T. Draine, Brandon S. Hensley
The quantization of energy levels in very nanoparticles suppresses dissipative processes that convert grain rotational kinetic energy into heat. For grains small enough to have GHz…
