USEFUL REFERNCES
Dust in the
Galactic Environment (2nd ed.) – D.C.B. Whittet (2003)
A
very nice survey of dust in a variety of environments. A good introduction to the subject, accessible to
undergraduate & graduate students
Absorption &
Scattering of Light by Small Particles – C.F. Bohren & D.R.
Huffman (1983)
The essential reference on the
optical properties of small particles. Essential reading for anyone venturing
into the field in a serious way. Includes Fortran code for Mie
scattering.
Light Scattering
by Small Particles
– H.C. van de Hulst (1957)
Granddaddy
of important references on the subject of light interactions with small
particles.
The Physics of
Interstellar Dust
– E. KrŸgel (2003)
A
comprehensive textbook about dust – optical properties, structure &
composition, grain formation & destruction, etc.
Theory of
Reflectance & Emission Spectroscopy – B. Hapke (1993)
A
textbook on the optical properties and radiative
transfer of particulate surfaces of planets (regoliths),
the first few chapters provide a nice summary of absorption & scattering by
small particles.
