Tabulated Optical Properties of Graphite and Silicate Grains
Abstract
The complex dielectric functions of graphite and 'astronomical silicate' for wavelengths between 2000 microns and 200 A are tabulated. The particle radius of the grains was 0.01 microns, and 0.1 for spheres. The scattering efficiency function Q(abs), albedo, and the angle cos Theta between the propagation directions of the incident and scattered radiation from the grains were calculated using Mie scattering theory for homogeneous spheres. The results are given in three tables.
