Spectropolarimetry of the 3.4 mu m feature in the diffuse ISM toward the Galactic center quintuplet cluster

Aliphatic hydrocarbons exhibit an absorption feature at 3.4 μm, observed toward sources that sample diffuse regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). The absorbers responsible for this feature are assumed to reside in some component of interstellar dust, but the physical nature of the particles (siz...
