Brilliant Pebbles: A Method for Detection of Very Large Interstellar Grains
Aristotle Socrates, Bruce T. Draine
A photon of wavelength lambda ~1 micron interacting with a dust grain of radius a_p ~ 1 mm (a "pebble") undergoes scattering in the forward direction, largely within a small charac…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Foreground Science Knowledge and Prospects
A. A. Fraisse, J. -A. C. Brown, G. Dobler +10
We report on our knowledge of Galactic foregrounds, as well as on how a CMB satellite mission aiming at detecting a primordial B-mode signal (CMBPol) will contribute to improving i…
Constraining Spinning Dust Parameters with the WMAP Five-Year Data
Gregory Dobler, Bruce T. Draine, Douglas P. Finkbeiner
We characterize spinning dust emission in the warm ionized medium by comparing templates of Galactic dust and Halpha with the 5-year maps from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Pr…
Polarized Far-Infrared and Submillimeter Emission from Interstellar Dust
Bruce T. Draine, Aurélien A. Fraisse
Polarized far-infrared and submillimeter emission is calculated for models of nonspherical dust grains that are constrained to reproduce the observed wavelength-dependent extinctio…
The discrete dipole approximation for periodic targets I. theory and tests
B. T. Draine, P. J. Flatau
The discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) is a powerful method for calculating absorption and scattering by targets that have sizes smaller than or comparable to the wavelength of th…
User Guide for the Discrete Dipole Approximation Code DDSCAT 7.0
B. T. Draine, P. J. Flatau
DDSCAT 7.0 is an open-source Fortran-90 software package applying the discrete dipole approximation to calculate scattering and absorption of electromagnetic waves by targets with…
