The Planck and Herschel missions are currently measuring the far-infrared to millimeter emission of dust, which combined with existing IR data, will for first time provide full spectral energy distribution (SED) galactic interstellar medium dust emission, from mid-IR mm range, an unprecedented sensitivity down spatial scales ~30″. Such a global SED allow systematic study evolution processes (e.g. grain growth or fragmentation) that directly affect because they redistribute mass among...

Recent observational constraints in emission, extinction, and polarisation have at least partially invalidated most of the astronomical standard grain models for diffuse interstellar medium.

Dusty hyperluminous galaxies in the early universe provide unique environments for studying role of massive stars formation and destruction dust. At redshifts above ~6, when was less than ~1 Gyr old, dust could have only condensed explosive ejecta Type II supernovae (SNe), since most progenitors asymptotic giant branch stars, major alternative source interstellar dust, did not time to evolve off main sequence onset star formation. In this paper we present analytical models evolution gas,...
