Interstellar dust within the life cycle of the interstellar medium
Cosmic dust is omnipresent in the Universe. Its presence influences the evolution of the astronomical objects which in turn modify its physical and chemical properties.

Can inhomogeneties accelerate the cosmic volume expansion? [PDF]
If expanding and contracting regions coexist in the universe, the speed of the cosmic volume expansion can be accelerated. We construct simple inhomogeneous dust-filled universe models in which the speed of the cosmic volume expansion is accelerated for ...

Gas and Dust Temperature in Prestellar Cores Revisited: New Limits on Cosmic-Ray Ionization Rate [PDF]
We develop a self-consistent model for the equilibrium gas temperature and size-dependent dust temperature in cold, dense, prestellar cores, assuming an arbitrary power-law size distribution of dust grains.

Considering light-matter interactions in Friedmann equations based on the conformal FLRW metric
Introduction: Recent observations indicate that the Universe is not transparent but partially opaque due to absorption of light by ambient cosmic dust. This implies that the current cosmological model valid for the transparent universe must be modified ...

Missing Giants: Predictions on Dust-obscured Galaxy Stellar Mass Assembly Throughout Cosmic Time
Due to their extremely dust-obscured nature, much uncertainty still exists surrounding the stellar mass growth and content in dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z > 1. In this work, we present a numerical model built using empirical data on DSFGs to

Note on strong cosmic censorship for spherically symmetric Einstein-dust model [PDF]
In this note, we derive an ordinary differential equation for outgoing light rays in the spacetime of a spherically symmetric contracting dust cloud. The violation of strong cosmic censorship is equivalent to the existence of a solution blowing up at the centre of the symmetry.

Dust versus Cosmic Acceleration [PDF]
Two groups have recently discovered a statistically significant deviation in the fluxes of high-redshift type Ia supernovae from the predictions of a Friedmann model with zero cosmological constant. In this Letter, I argue that bright, dusty, starburst galaxies would preferentially eject a dust component with a shallower opacity curve (hence less ...

Modelling dust processing and the evolution of grain sizes in the ISM using the method of moments [PDF]
Interstellar dust grains do not have a single well-defined origin. Stars are demonstrably dust producers, but also efficient destroyers of cosmic dust. Dust destruction in the ISM is believed to be the result of SN shocks hitting the ambient ISM gas (and dust) and lead to an increased rate of ion sputtering, which reduces the dust mass.
