Review Talk

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...

Contributed talk

With the advent of large far-infrared and submillimetre facilities such as Herschel, Planck, JCMT, and especially ALMA, dust now provides an indispensable way to study the evolution of galaxies. In particular, our ability to observe large areas of the submillimetre sky quickly (along with the advantageous effects of negative-k-correction and lensing) mean that dust observations are...
