Scattering by Interstellar Dust Grains: Optical and Ultraviolet
read the original abstract
Scattering and absorption properties at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths are calculated for an interstellar dust model consisting of carbonaceous grains and amorphous silicate grains. Polarization as a function of scattering angle is calculated for selected wavelengths from the IR to the vacuum UV. The widely-used Henyey-Greenstein phase function provides a good approximation for the scattering phase function between ~0.4 and 1 micron, but fails to fit the calculated phase functions at shorter wavelengths and longer wavelengths. A new analytic phase function is presented. It is exact at long wavelengths, and provides a good fit to the numerically-calculated phase function for lambda > 0.27um. Observational determinations of the scattering albedo and <cos(theta)> show considerable disagreement, especially in the ultraviolet. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
