X-Ray Spectroscopy of Interstellar Carbon: Evidence for Scattering by Carbon-bearing Material in the Spectrum of 1ES 1553+113
Molecules and particles make up ∼40%–70% of carbon in the interstellar medium, yet the exact chemical structure of these constituents remains unknown. We present carbon K-shell absorption spectroscopy of the Galactic interstellar medium obtained with the Low Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer...
