The 9.7 and 18 μm silicate absorption profiles towards diffuse and molecular cloud lines-of-sight

Description : Studying the composition of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial for understanding the cycle of dust in our galaxy. Aims. The mid-infrared spectral signature of amorphous silicates, the most abundant dust species in the ISM, is studied in different lines-of-sight through the Galactic pla...
