Interstellar Dust Grain Alignment [PDF]
, 2018 Dust induced polarization is an efficient probe of the interstellar magnetic field. The combination of short wavelength dichroic extinction polarimetry with far-infrared/sub-mm wave emission observations, using modern instruments, allow us to measure the

Thermodynamics of Giant Molecular Clouds: The Effects of Dust Grain Size
The Astrophysical JournalThe dust grain size distribution (GSD) likely varies significantly across star-forming environments in the Universe, but its impact on star formation remains unclear. This ambiguity arises because the GSD interacts nonlinearly with processes like heating,

, 1986 The presence of dust in the general interstellar medium is inferred from the extinction, polarization, and scattering of starlight; the presence of dark nebulae; interstellar depletions; the observed infrared emission around certain stars and various ...

Imprints of the Local Bubble and Dust Complexity on Polarized Dust Emission
The Astrophysical JournalUsing 3D dust maps and Planck polarized dust emission data, we investigate the influence of the 3D geometry of the nearby interstellar medium (ISM) on the statistics of the dust polarization on large ( $80^{\prime} $ ) scales.

The Journey of Interstellar Dust
, 2007 Interstellar dust particles undergo a complex journey in space. It commences with their formation in stellar outflows or outbursts, but may end in very different ways. Their fates range from sudden "death by destruction" promptly after their formation to

Analysis of "Midnight" Tracks in the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector: Possible Discovery of a Contemporary Interstellar Dust Grain [PDF]
, 2010 In January 2006, the Stardust sample return capsule returned to Earth bearing the first solid samples from a primitive solar system body, Comet 81P/Wild2, and a collector dedicated to the capture and return of contemporary interstellar dust.
