    What is dust?
    Invited talk

    X-rays provide a powerful tool to study interstellar dust. Using X-ray binaries as background sources, we can investigate the intervening dust along the line of sight. This is done by observing the edges present in the spectra of these sources, that serve as a unique fingerprint of the dust (Costantini 2012).
    In particular, the extinction features in the Si K-edge offer a range of...

    What is dust?
    Contributed talk

    The first ISO spectra of evolved stars revealed a wealth of features in AGB stars, YSOs, comets and other environments, which have been linked to a variety of crystalline silicate and oxide species. The presence and strength of these features carries information about the formation and processing history of the dust in AGB envelopes. However, unlocking this information has proven difficult;...

    What is dust?
    Contributed talk

    The properties of silicate and carbonaceous dust grains in galaxies, as well as those of neutral and ionized gasses and of molecules, can be studied in galaxies ranging from the local Universe to moderate redshifts using absorption lines detected in the spectra of background quasars. By exploiting serendipitous lines of sight to distant quasars that pass through foreground galaxies, we can...
