The modes of silicon meta-atoms are investigated, motivated by their use as building blocks of Huygens' metasurfaces. A model based on these modes is presented, giving a clear physical explanation of all features in the extinction spectrum.…
We provide a general microscopic theory of the scattering cross-section and of the refractive index for a system of interacting colloidal particles, exact at second order in the molecular polarizabilities. In particular: a) we show that the…
The depletion of elements onto dust grains is characterized using a generalized depletion strength $F_*$ for any sightline, and trend-line parameters $A_X, B_X$ and $z_X$. The parameters $A_X, B_X$ and $z_X$ define the relative depletion…
We consider divergence-based high order discretizations of an $L^2$-based first order system least squares formulation of a second order elliptic equation with Robin boundary conditions. For smooth geometries, we show optimal convergence…
We study the distribution of interstellar matter near the galactic plane on the basis of open star clusters and reviewed the correlation of extinction with different physical parameters of the clusters to understand the galactic structure.…
The masses of stars and planets can be measured dynamically in binary systems. For an unresolved binary, time series astrometry yields some orbital parameters, but it cannot provide the component masses, because we observe only the motion…
We study the chemical evolution of interstellar grain mantle by varying the physical parameters of the interstellar medium (ISM). To mimic the exact interstellar condition, gas grain interactions via accretion from the gas phase and…
We deal with the problem of estimating the volume of inclusions using a finite number of boundary measurements in electrical impedance tomography. We derive upper and lower bounds on the volume fractions of inclusions, or more generally two…
Context: Dust grains are key components of the interstellar medium and play a central role in star formation, acting as catalysts for chemical reactions and as building blocks of planets. Extinction curves are essential for characterizing…
We present an analysis of the dust optical properties at large scale, for the whole galactic anticenter hemisphere. We used the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog to obtain the total reddening on each galaxy line of sight and we compared this…
A robust and efficient field-only nonsingular surface integral method to solve Maxwell's equations for the components of the electric field on the surface of a dielectric scatterer is introduced. In this method, both the vector Helmholtz…
Accurate determination of the complex effective permittivity is fundamental to optical material engineering, but it remains a critical metrology challenge for heterogeneous systems. In polymer blends and optical composites, scattering and…
This paper introduces optimally-blended quadrature rules for isogeometric analysis and analyzes the numerical dispersion of the resulting discretizations. To quantify the approximation errors when we modify the inner products, we generalize…
This paper introduces a new method to search for unresolved binary stars in open star clusters. The work aims at improving the approach introduced previously, which employs the (H-W2)-W1 versus W2-(BP-K) photometric diagram. This diagram,…
A new integration technique for multi-loop Feynman integrals, called the matrix method, is developed and then applied to the divergent part of the overlapping two-loop quark self-energy function $\,i\Sigma\,$ in the light- cone gauge. It is…
We carried out synthetic observations of interstellar atomic hydrogen at 21cm wavelength by utilizing the magneto-hydrodynamical numerical simulations of the inhomogeneous turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) Inoue and Inutsuka (2012). The…
We study the effect of variations in dust size distribution and composition on the correlation between the spectral shape of extinction (parameterized by $R_{\textrm{V}}$) and far-infrared dust emissivity (parameterized by the power-law…
We are studying the column density distribution of all nearby giant molecular clouds. As part of this project we generated several all sky extinction maps. They are calculated using the median near infrared colour excess technique applied…
Recent investigation of the extinction law in 30 Dor and the Tarantula Nebula, at optical and near infrared (NIR) wavelengths, has revealed a ratio of total to selective extinction R_V=A_V/E(B-V) of about 4.5. This indicates a larger…
By radiation transfer models with a realistic power spectra of the projected density distributions, we show that the optical properties of grains are poorly constrained by observations of reflection nebulae. The ISM is known to be…
