Abstract:
In a previous paper we proposed a new model for the emission by
amorphous astronomical dust grains, based on solid-state physics. The
model uses a description of the disordered charge distribution (DCD)
combined with the presence of two-level systems (TLS) defects in the
amorphous solid composing the grains.
The goal of this paper is to compare this new model to astronomical
observations of different Galactic environments in the far-infrared/
submillimeter, in order to derive a set of canonical model parameters
to be used as a Galactic reference to be compared to in future
Galactic and extragalactic studies.
We compare the TLSmodel with existing astronomical data. We consider
the average emission spectrum at high latitudes in our Galaxy as
measured with FIRAS and WMAP, as well as the emission from Galactic
compact sources observed with the Archeops balloon experiment, for
which an inverse relationship between the dust temperature and the
emissivity spectral index has been proven.
Description:
Predicted emissivities (in cm2/H) in the IRAS, Herschel, and Planck
photometric bands, deduced from the TLS model with the standard
parameters given in Table 4, as a function of dust temperature. The
emissivities have been normalized to 1e-25cm2/H, at 250um for a
temperature of 17.5K.
