Descripción
Sumario:[Context] Dust grains are fundamental components of the interstellar medium (ISM), playing a crucial role in star formation as catalysts for chemical reactions and planetary building blocks. Extinction curves can serve as a tool for characterizing dust properties, however mid-infrared (MIR) extinction remains less constrained in protostellar environments. Gas-phase line ratios from embedded protostellar jets offer a spatially resolved method for measuring the extinction from protostellar envelopes, complementing traditional background starlight techniques.
