Seeding grain nucleation and dust growth: Ionisation, epoxidation and charge disproportionation effects
A. P. Jones
This work studies the likely dust seeding processes arising from alkali metal and alkaline earth ionisation, epoxidation (epoxide bond formation via oxygen atom insertion into C=C…
Spatially-resolved interstellar dust properties in the face-on spiral galaxy M 99 as observed by NIKA2
L. Pantoni, F. Galliano, S. C. Madden +62
Large dust grains in thermal equilibrium dominate the far-infrared and contribute to the millimetre continuum of star-forming galaxies, but constraining their properties is difficu…
Spheroidal core-mantle particle absorption, scattering, and polarisation in the long-wavelength limit
Ant Jones, Nathalie Ysard
The numerical calculation of optical properties (extinction, absorption, scattering and polarisation efficiencies) is often time-consuming for non-spherical and inhomogeneous parti…
The nature and evolution of a-C(:H) nanoparticle substructures and speculations on the origin of the 3-4m emission bands
Ant Jones
The nature and evolution of hydrocarbonaceous grains within interstellar and circumstellar media is still far from resolved, perhaps owing to the rather complex nature of their see…
Quantum confinement and carbon nanodots: A conceptual view for the origin of diffuse interstellar bands
A. P. Jones
The nature of the Diffuse Interstellar Band (DIB) carriers is perhaps the most studied, longest standing, unresolved problem in astronomy. While four bands have been associated wit…
