星际消光和偏振--球状尘埃颗粒方法的前景

Interstellar extinction and polarization -- A spheroidal dust grain approach perspective

H. K. Das, N. V. Voshchinnikov, V. B. Il'in

摘要:

我们扩展和调查的球状模型的星际尘埃颗粒用于同时解释所观察到的星际消光和偏振曲线。我们比较了我们的模型与其他作者最近提出的类似模型,研究它的性质,并应用它来拟合归一化消光$A(λ)/A_{\rm V}$和偏振效率$P(λ)/A(λ)$在近红外到远紫外区域的几个恒星看到通过一个大的云。我们的结论是,模型参数$Ω$是视线和磁场方向之间的角度可以或多或少可靠地确定从理论和观测的比较。这为利用多波长光度和偏振观测研究星际磁场的空间结构开辟了一条道路。

英文摘要:

We extend and investigate the spheroidal model of interstellar dust grains used to simultaneously interpret the observed interstellar extinction and polarization curves. We compare our model with similar models recently suggested by other authors, study its properties and apply it to fit the normalized extinction $A(λ)/A_{\rm V}$ and the polarizing efficiency $P(λ)/A(λ)$ measured in the near IR to far UV region for several stars seen through one large cloud. We conclude that the model parameter $Ω$ being the angle between the line of sight and the magnetic field direction can be more or less reliably determined from comparison of the theory and observations. This opens a way to study the spatial structure of interstellar magnetic fields by using multi-wavelength photometric and polarimetric observations.
