内容記述 | We discuss evidence for two non-standard grain components: small conglomerates and astronomical iron. The small conglomerates are small, temperature fluctuating grains made up of loosely bound 12 micron emitters (either PAH's or dielectrics). When these grains are exposed to strong UV radiation fields they break apart into smaller pieces. For high UV radiation regimes, such as H II regions, conglomerate grains best explain the reduction of 25 micron emission relative to 12 micron. Astronomical iron was originally proposed for isolated cirrus clouds in order to account for the strength of the 60 micron emission. Within the diffuse ISM, these grains emit at a relatively high equilibrium temperature of 50 K. Our analysis of IRAS data shows the presence of a strong 60 micron emitter in the Lambda Orionis H II region and a component within the Rosette Nebula emitting primarily at 25 micron. Both of these observations can be accommodated by the presence of iron grains within the H II regions. |
