... Amorphous carbonaceous materials can show a great diversity of optical properties due to the variability in their microstructure. ... The differently pyrolized celluloses are representative for a suit of carbonaceous material ranging from strongly disordered (insulating) to graphitized (conducting) material. Figure: Complex refractive index of hydrogenated amorphous carbon prepared by pyrolysis (annealing) of cellulose at different temperatures. ...

... We also analyze Chandra X-ray archive data for the Mon R2 region and find IRS 3 A and IRS 3 C to be sources of hard (3 - 10 keV) and variable X-ray emission , suggesting plasma temperatures of at least 50 в 106 K. The similarity of the X-ray properties to those of Class I protostars suggests magnetic interaction between the protostars and their circumstellar disks to be the origin of the X-ray ... 2002). ... Upper Upper Lower Lower K-band Images of Mon R2 IRS 3. ... X-ray results. ...
