Spectropolarimetric constraints on the nature of the 3.4 micron absorber in the interstellar medium
Spectropolarimetry of the 3.4 μm aliphatic C-H stretch feature, generally attributed to carbonaceous dust in the diffuse interstellar medium, has been carried out in the line of sight from the Galactic center source Sagittarius A IRS 7. The feature is unpolarized (Δp/Δτ < 0.2): the upper limi...
