钙是星际介质（ISM）中高度耗竭的元素，但其固相组成仍不明确。由于冷弥散星际介质中钙缺乏独特的光谱特征，含钙尘埃的探测受到限制。X射线为探索星际尘埃的吸收与散射特性提供了直接方法。本研究利用高分辨率X射线吸收光谱，在钙K边处通过X射线吸收精细结构（XAFS）表征含钙星际尘埃类似物；在台湾国家同步辐射研究中心（NSRRC）测量了7种含钙星际尘埃类似物的新X射线吸收光谱，将实验室测量得到的消光截面纳入X射线光谱拟合工具SPEX的尘埃吸收模型AMOL中；选取柱密度较高的3个低质量X射线双星（LMXBs）GX 340+00、GX 5-1和GX 13+1作为背景源，研究其视线方向上的 intervening 星际介质；使用SPEX将最佳拟合模型与钱德拉（Chandra）存档数据进行比较，同时利用XRISM和NewAthena望远镜的模拟，以在钙K边附近能量范围实现更高分辨率和更有效覆盖，这些模拟为未来星际介质中钙的X射线观测设定了边界条件。
英文摘要
Calcium is a highly depleted element in the interstellar medium (ISM), however its composition in the solid phase remains elusive. The detection of Ca-bearing dust has been limited due to its lack of distinct spectral features in the cold phase of the diffuse ISM. X-rays provide a direct method for exploring the absorption and scattering properties of interstellar dust. In this study, we utilize high-resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy to characterize Ca-bearing dust analogs at the Ca K-edge using X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS). We present new X-ray absorption spectra of seven calcium-bearing interstellar dust analogs measured at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) in Taiwan. The extinction cross sections, calculated from the laboratory measurements are incorporated in the dust absorption model AMOL of the X-ray spectral fitting tool SPEX. We select three Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) with high column densities, GX 340+00, GX 5-1, and GX 13+1, as background sources to study the intervening ISM along their sightlines. The best-fit models are compared with Chandra archive data using SPEX. Additionally, we employ simulations with the XRISM and NewAthena telescopes to achieve enhanced resolution and more effective coverage at the energy range near the Ca K-edge. These simulations set the boundary conditions for the future X-ray observation of calcium in the interstellar medium.
