Interstellar Extinction in Orion. Variation of the Strength of the UV
MNRAS 000, 1–9 (2017) Preprint 9 July 2018 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 Interstellar extinction in Orion. Variation of the strength of the UV bump across the complex. Leire Beitia-Antero,1⋆ Ana I. G´omez de Castro,1† 1AEGORA Research Group, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de CC. Matem´aticas, Plaza de Ciencias 3, E-28040 Madrid Accepted XXX. Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT There is growing observational evidence of dust coagulation in the dense filaments within molecular clouds. Infrared observations show that the dust grains size distri- bution gets shallower and the relative fraction of small to large dust grains decreases as the local density increases. Ultraviolet (UV) observations show that the strength of the 2175 A˚ feature, the so-called UV bump, also decreases with cloud density. In this work, we apply the technique developed for the Taurus study to the Orion molecular cloud and confirm that the UV bump decreases over the densest cores of the cloud as well as in the heavily UV irradiated λ Orionis shell. The study has been extended to the Rosette cloud with uncertain results given the distance (1.3 kpc). Key words: ISM: dust, extinction 1 INTRODUCTION feature of the extinction curve, the so-called UV bump. The UV bump is, by far, the strongest spectral feature in the ex- The Interstellar Medium (ISM) is a complex ensemble of tinction curve but its source remains uncertain (see e.g. the gas, large molecules and dust coupled through the action of review by Draine (2003)). -
Cassiopeia a January2008
CASSIOPEIA A JANUARY2008 Cassiopeia A is the youngest (about 300 years old) known supernova Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa remnant in the Milky Way. Astronomers have used Chandra’s long ob - 01 02 03 04 05 servations of this remnant to make a map of the acceleration of elec - trons in this supernova remnant. The analysis shows that the electrons 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 are being accelerated to almost the maximum theoretical limit in some 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 parts of Cassiopeia A (Cas A) in what can be thought of as a “relativistic pinball machine.” Protons and ions, which make up the bulk of cosmic 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 rays, are expected to be accelerated in a similar way to the electrons. The Cas A observations thus provide strong evidence that supernova 27 28 29 30 31 remnants are key sites for energizing cosmic rays. 3C442A FEBRUARY2008 X -ray data from NASA’s Chandra X -ray Observatory and radio obser - Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa vations from the NSF’s Very Large Array show that a role reversal is 01 02 taking place in the middle of 3C442A - a system with two merging gal - 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 axies in the center. Chandra detects hot gas (blue) that has been push - ing aside the radio -bright gas (orange). This is the opposite of what 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 is typically found in these systems when jets from the supermassive black hole in the center create cavities in the hot gas surrounding the 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 galaxy. -

Why is it Challenging ? • Complex mix of populations with large overlaps in parameter space (such as Velocities, Metallicities, and Ages) & small volume sampled by current data • Stars move away from their birth places (migrate radially, or even vertically via mergers/interactions of the MW with other Galaxies). • Many are the sources of migration! • Most of information was confined to a small volume Miglio, Chiappini et al. 2017 Key: VOLUME COVERAGE & AGES Chiappini et al. 2018 IAU 334 Quantifying the impact of radial migration The Rbirth mix !
