Dust ModelDust Model
CLOUDY 96.01: since 2003 include grain physics (beside gas)
Easy access to dust optical constants + Mie code (n,k)
Versatile n(a)
Full radiation field (10 cm to X-rays)
Accurate T-fluctuations
Grain charge and gas-grain interactions (drift velocities)
Simple geometry and transfer (forward/backward)
- Full Dust model in ~1' / zone, 6' for Av=1, 15' for Av=5
- Only emergent spectrum
Main Updates / DMain Updates / Déésert et al. modelsert et al. model
1) T-fluctuations well-treated
2) Realistic opt. properties Graphite and Silicates
(Draine web site)
3) New Standard model for Cirrus: 180 ppm C 33 ppm Si
PAHs: a = 0.4 – 0.6 nm, bands from ISO-SWS
VSGs: graphite a = 1 – 5 nm
BGs: graphite a = 10 – 250 nm, silicates a = 0.35 – 250 nm

SummarySummary
CLOUDY 96.01 and up: - versatile tool to model dust emission in diffuse ISM,- T-fluctuations well treated
Dust model for a variety of regions: ~ 1 – 3 104
[C] = 180 ppm n ~ 102 – 104 cm-3
[Si] = 35 ppm PAHs small: 20 -
50 C
FIR cross-section of PAHs important for:
- vibrational emission
- T-fluctuation --> rotational emission
Next:
- Subtract the PAHs and study the VSG SED (M. Compiegne)
- Take charge into account (small PAHs well studied)
- Add the contribution of spinning PAHs (N. Ysard)
