Why X-rays?
The X-ray band offers complementary information with respect to longer wavelengths. This opens up a new science window for ID investigation.

Uniqueness of X-rays
oGas phase: N, O, Fe, Ne, Mg, Sio Dust: O (0.54keV), Fe (0.7-7.1keV), Mg (1.3keV),
Si(1.87keV) all constituents of silicates!o Dust: prominent iron features (Fe L and K-edge), oElement depletion is straightforward to determineoSensitive to a large range of column densities.oX-ray binaries are used as background light
mapping all the galactic planeoBoth scattering and absorption can be
simultaneously studied

Galactic Center observed by ROSAT0.1-2 keV
Scattering produces a halo of diffuse emission around the source.The intensity/shape of the halo depends on energy, dust size distribution, dust spatial distribution (Overbeck 71; Mauche & Gorenstein 91; Predehl & Schmitt 95 Predehl & Klose 96; Costantini+05; Smith, Dame, Costantini+06)
Absorption is seen in spectra of X-ray sources behind dust. Dust distorts the photoelectric edges depending on the dust chemical composition (Lee+2005, 2009; Pinto, Kaastra, Costantini+2010,2013; Costantini+2005, 2012)

Absorption•The light of the background source is
absorbed by the intervening dust and gas dozens of neutral and ionized absorption features. X-rays have lower resolution (R=400-1000), but many more transitions than UV better determination of multi-temperature components

Dust spectral effects
• As NH increases we are sampling denser and denser environments up to the Galactic Center region.• Most edges are modified by measurable dust absorption (shift +smearing)• Depending on the dust environments we can access different edges

Are we detecting GEMS?
Results from X-rays, using different instruments and techniques :
evidence of Mg2SiO3 + Fe + oxides
Is there any compound with such composition?
GEMS= glass with embedded metal and sulfides
(e.g. Bradley+04) They have an interplanetary origin, but some
of them may have ISM origin (e.g. Keller&Messenger 08, Ishii+08)

Shortcoming:
relatively few (and sparse) lab X-ray measurements of compounds interesting for astronomy are available for comparison with the data
Possible bias in the results

The DUSTLAB project
• Collect relevant dust samples of astronomical interest: e.g. silicates, sulfates▫11 samples (courtesy of H. Mutschke)▫Crystalline & amorphous silicates
• Measurements of all relevant edges (O, Fe, Mg, Si, S) ▫comprehensive modeling of observed edges▫Simultaneous fitting, reduced degeneracy
• Implemetation into fitting X-ray codes▫ addition to existing measurements▫dust+gas+source modeling
• Complementary data: X-ray scattering halos, Spitzer (10µm feature), HST (oxygen depletion), CO maps
