Notes. The values assume β = 2 (see Eq. 2). Numbers in parentheses are powers of ten. (†) Using their relation τ(250) = 2.16 × 10−25NH cm2∕H and assuming 10% of He atoms with respect to hydrogen nuclei. (‡) Values are from their model calculations (their Table 1); values from the synthesized samples, which are probably more emissive than interstellar dust grains, are higher by factors of 4 to 10. (§) Using β = 2.3 as obtained from their study of the dust emission at 1.2 and 2 mm. (||) Using β = 1.56 as obtained from our continuum fit.
