Abstract:
To model the cold dust emission observed in the diffuse interstellar
medium, in dense molecular clouds or in cold clumps that could
eventually form new stars, it is mandatory to know the physical and
spectroscopic properties of this dust and to understand its emission.
This work is a continuation of previous studies aiming at providing
astronomers with spectroscopic data of realistic cosmic dust analogues
for the interpretation of observations. The aim of the present work is
to extend the range of studied analogues to iron-rich silicate dust
analogues.
Ferromagnesium amorphous silicate dust analogues were produced by a
sol-gel method with a mean composition close to Mg1-xFexSiO3
with x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4. Part of each sample was annealed at
500°C for two hours in a reducing atmosphere to modify the
oxidation state of iron. We have measured the mass absorption
coefficient (MAC) of these eight ferromagnesium amorphous silicate
dust analogues in the spectral domain 30-1000um for grain temperature
in the range 10-300K and at room temperature in the 5-40um range.
The MAC of ferromagnesium samples behaves in the same way as the MAC
of pure Mg-rich amorphous silicate samples. In the 30-300K range, the
MAC increases with increasing grain temperature whereas in the range
10-30K, we do not see any change of the MAC. The MAC cannot be
described by a single power law in λ-β. The MAC of the
samples does not show any clear trend with the iron content. However
the annealing process has, on average, an effect on the MAC that we
explain by the evolution of the structure of the samples induced by
the processing. The MAC of all the samples is much higher than the MAC
calculated by dust models.
The complex behavior of the MAC of amorphous silicates with wavelength
and temperature is observed whatever the exact silicate composition
(Mg vs. Fe amount). It is a universal characteristic of amorphous
materials, and therefore of amorphous cosmic silicates, that should be
taken into account in astronomical modeling. The enhanced MAC of the
measured samples compared to the MAC calculated for cosmic dust model
implies that dust masses are overestimated by the models.
Description:
The data available here are part of the Database STOPCODA where they
can be retrieved too (SpecTroscopy and Optical Properties of Cosmic
Dust Analogues, https://sshade.eu). See also https://blog.sshade.eu/.
They contain the mass absorption coefficient of cosmic dust analogues
in the spectral domain 5-1000microns and in the temperature range
300-10K. The cosmic dust analogues are amorphous silicates of
composition Mg1-xFexSiO3 with x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4. The first
column is the wavenumber in cm-1, the second column is the mass
absorption coefficient in cm2/g.
