Multiple Scattering in Clumpy Media. II. Galactic Environments
We present and discuss the results of new multiple-scattering radiative transfer calculations for three representative types of galactic environments, filled with either homogeneous or two-phase… Expand
The 1997 reference of diffuse night sky brightness
- C. Leinert, S. Bowyer, +12 authors A. Witt
- Physics
- 1998
In the following we present material in tabular and graphical form, with the aim to allow the non-specialist to obtain a realistic estimate of the diffuse night sky brightness over a wide range of… Expand
Interstellar Depletions Updated: Where All the Atoms Went
Measures of the depletion of interstellar elements from the gas phase are usually derived by assuming that the general composition of the interstellar medium is identical to that of the Sun. A… Expand
Dust in the local interstellar wind
- P. Frisch, J. Dorschner, +13 authors G. Zank
- Physics
- 10 May 1999
The gas-to-dust mass ratios found for interstellar dust within the solar system, versus values determined astronomically for the cloud around the solar system, suggest that large and small… Expand
Astrophysics of Dust
- A. Witt, G. Clayton, B. Draine
- Physics
- 1 May 2004
Currently ∼36 different absorption bands have been detected in the infrared spectra of cold, dense interstellar and circumstellar environments. These are attributed to the vibrational transitions of… Expand

The Amount of Interstellar Carbon Locked in Solid Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon
- D. G. Furton, J. Laiho, A. Witt
- Physics
- 4 August 1999
Some form of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) is widely regarded as a likely component of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium of the Galaxy. The most direct observational evidence is the ∼2950… Expand
Dust and the transfer of stellar radiation within galaxies
- A. Witt, H. Thronson, J. Capuano
- Physics
- 1 September 1991
We present and discuss models for the transfer of ultraviolet, visual, and near-infrared radiation within a variety of spherical geometries which are intended to approximate different types of dusty… Expand
Dust Attenuation in Late-Type Galaxies. I. Effects on Bulge and Disk Components
- D. Pierini, K. Gordon, +13 authors Wi
- Physics
- 8 September 2004
We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which… Expand
OBSERVATION OF THE FAR-ULTRAVIOLET CONTINUUM BACKGROUND WITH SPEAR/FIMS
- K. Seon, J. Edelstein, +6 authors J. Park
- Physics
- 23 June 2010
We present the general properties of the far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1370-1710 A) continuum background over most of the sky, obtained with the Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation… Expand
