The relationship between infrared, optical, and ultraviolet extinction
TL;DR: In this article, the average extinction law over the 3.5 micron to 0.125 wavelength range was derived for both diffuse and dense regions of the interstellar medium. And the validity of the law over a large wavelength interval suggests that the processes which modify the sizes and compositions of grains are stochastic in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Quantitative Comparison of the Small Magellanic Cloud, Large Magellanic Cloud, and Milky Way Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared Extinction Curves
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared all known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with their understanding of the general behavior of Milky Way extinction curves.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Quantitative Comparison of SMC, LMC, and Milky Way UV to NIR Extinction Curves
TL;DR: In this article, an exhaustive comparison of all of the known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with our understanding of the general behavior of Milky Way extinction curves is presented.

TL;DR: Observations of supernova 1987A reveal the presence of a population of cold dust grains radiating with a temperature of about 17 to 23 kelvin at a rate of about 220 times the luminosity of the Sun, implying that supernovae can produce the large dust masses detected in young galaxies at very high redshifts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the SAGE-SMC (Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally stripped, low metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud) Spitzer Legacy program was used to study the amount and type of dust in the present interstellar medium.
