Description

The NanoGrain database (NGdb) provides spectral and morphological properties of solid particles to the scientific community to enable the study and interpretation of their spectral signatures (from the UV-visible to the infrared) in astrophysical environments (galaxies, the interstellar medium, including molecular clouds, planetary nebulae, protoplanetary disks) as well as in (exo)planet atmospheres. These experimental and theoretical datasets are key input parameter in models used to interpret observational data returned by space missions and ground-based observatories.
