Optical constants of cosmic carbon analogue grains — I. Simulation of clustering by a modified continuous distribution of ellipsoids

Zubko, V. G., Mennella, V., Colangeli, L., Bussoletti, E.·1996·Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Abstract

The first results on the optical constants of three different amorphous carbon samples, possible analogues of interstellar and circumstellar dust grains, are presented. They have been deduced from recent laboratory data, making use of the Kramers-Kronig approach. It is shown that the physically correct simulation of clustering by the traditional ‘CDE’ model is not applicable here. A modified CDE (MCDE) model is proposed and used in the present calculations. The MCDE model allows one to take into account the effect of percolation of the analysed amorphous carbon clusters through the parameter go, interpreted as a percolation strength. The intervals of the probable MCDE models (go) have been chosen on the basis of the relevant estimates of Stognienko, Henning & Ossenkopf for the cluster—cluster aggregation (CCA) and particle—cluster aggregation (PCA) models. The ‘optimal’ percolation strengths and optical constants have been derived by using a least-squares procedure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
