Temperature Fluctuations and Evolution of Dust Grains in Dense Interstellar Clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
Interstellar extinction studies (Chlewicki et al, 1984), as well as IR observations (Sellgren et al, 1983) require the presence in the interstellar medium of a substantial number of small (a≲0.01 μm) dust grains. The temperature of such small grains is subjected, because of their small steady-state energy, to large fluctuations as they absorb photons from the incident radiation, which could prevent the accretion on such grains (Greenberg and Hong, 1974).
