Analyzing PAHs as a Tracer of Anomalous Microwave Emission Near the Galactic Plane Using the COSMOGLOBE DIRBE Reduction
Dylan M. Pare, David T. Chuss, Danielle Sponseller +2
The physical mechanism producing Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) has been an unresolved puzzle for close to 30 years. One candidate mechanism is rotational emission from polycyc…

Statistical Analysis of PAHs as a Tracer of Anomalous Microwave Emission Using DIRBE Data
Danielle Sponseller, David T. Chuss, Brandon Hensley +1
We use archival data from the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) to map the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) 3.3 m emission feature and analyze its correlation…

A Rotational Disruption Crisis for Zodiacal Dust
Kedron Silsbee, Brandon S. Hensley, Jamey R. Szalay +2
A systematic torque from anisotropic radiation can rapidly spin up irregular grains to the point of breakup. We apply the standard theory of rotational disruption from radiative to…
