Review Talk Dust as a tool Dust as a tracer in the Milky Way and local galaxies

Speaker

Dr Maud Galametz (CEA Saclay)

Description

In this review, I will give an overview of the properties of dust (spatial distribution, composition, heating sources) in the ISM of nearby galaxies and in the Milky Way. I will discuss the main spectral energy distributions fitting techniques to model the ISM dust and their caveats. I will also discuss the need for dust models including an evolution of dust grains in the ISM to explain the current observables in emission or extinction.
