We would like to draw attention to the fact that the mass absorption coefficients (MACs) presented in the paper “Low-temperature MIR to submillimeter mass absorption coefficient of interstellar dust analogues. II. Mg and Fe-rich amorphous silicates” published in A&A 606, A50 (2017) are the MACs of the grains in the polyethylene matrix and not in vacuum. Indeed, Eq. (4) in Demyk et al. (2017) provides the MAC for the isolated grains in the matrix. The additional step to correct for the effect of the matrix, which is detailed in Mennella et al. (1998), was not done in Demyk et al. (2017). Therefore, in order to compare the experimental MACs presented in Demyk et al. (2017) with those calculated from optical constants available in databases or in cosmic dust models, it is necessary to perform the calculations in the same medium as that of the experimental data. This was not done in Demyk et al. (2017) in which Sect. 4.3, Table 2, Fig. 10, and Figs. A.1–A.8 compare MACs that are not comparable: the MAC for grains in polyethylene (PE) for the measurements and the MAC for grains in vacuum for the cosmic dust models. We provide here new versions of Table 2 and Figs. 10 and A.1–A.8 of Demyk et al. (2017) in which the MACs for the silicates from astronomical models are calculated in an ambient medium of refractive index n = 1.51 similar to that of the pellets (polyethylene). Table 1 and Fig. 1 of the corrigendum replace Table 2 and Fig. 10 of Demyk et al. (2017), respectively. Figures A.1–A.8 of the corrigendum replace Figs. A.1–A.8 of Demyk et al. (2017).
The main conclusions of the comparison of the experimental MAC with the MAC for cosmic dust models have not changed: in the 100 μm–1 mm range, the measured MAC is higher than that of cosmic models (see Table 1, Fig. 1, and Figs A.1–A.8). The factor of enhancement compared to the models depends on the sample and on the wavelength. It is in the range from 1 to 10 at 300 K and from 1 to 7 at 10 K, the highest factor being found at 500 and 850 μm. Considering the MAC averaged over all the samples, the value of 〈MAC〉all at 10 K is a little more than twice that of the modeled MAC in the range from 500 μm to 1 mm.
This also affects the comparison with previous experimental data if they are corrected for the effect of the matrix. Mennella et al. (1998) indicated that the matrix-correction factor is of the order of 1.3 for amorphous fayalite. Therefore, the MAC presented in Demyk et al. (2017) should be divided by a similar factor to be compared with experimental data from Mennella et al. (1998). However, for a more reliable comparison, we advise the use of the optical constants derived from these MACs by Demyk et al. (2022) to simulated the MAC of the grains in a vacuum.
Appendix A Comparison with astronomical models
Figures A.1 to A.8 show the comparison of the MAC for each sample with the MAC calculated for the astrosil model (Li & Draine 2001) and for the THEMIS model (Jones et al. 2013). The calculations were performed using Mie theory (Bohren & Huffman 1998) for a spherical particle with a size of 100 nm, for spherical grain populations with a log-normal size distribution centered at 1 μm, and for a CDE distribution (green). We note that to be comparable with the experimental data, the MAC are modelled in PE and not in vacuum.
