Photoelectric cross-sections of gas and dust in protoplanetary disks [PDF]
We provide simple polynomial fits to the X-ray photoelectric cross-sections (0.03 < E < 10keV) for mixtures of gas and dust found in protoplanetary disks. Using the solar elemental abundances of Asplund et al.

The Role of Dust in Producing the Cosmic Infrared Background [PDF]
The extragalactic background light (EBL), exclusive of the cosmic microwave background, consists of the cumulative radiative output from all energy sources in the universe since the epoch of recombination.

A Framework for Modeling Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission in Galaxy Evolution Simulations
We present a new methodology for simulating mid-infrared emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in galaxy evolution simulations. To do this, we combine theoretical models of PAH emission features as they respond to varying interstellar ...

Dust-regulated galaxy formation and evolution:A new chemodynamical model with live dust particles
Interstellar dust plays decisive roles in the conversion of neutral to molecular hydrogen (H_2), the thermodynamical evolution of interstellar medium (ISM), and the modification of spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies.

Dust formation, evolution, and obscuration effects in the very high-redshift universe [PDF]
The evolution of dust at redshifts z>9, and consequently the dust properties, differs greatly from that in the local universe. In contrast to the local universe, core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are the only source of thermally-condensed dust. Because of

Thermal Processing of Interstellar Dust Grains in the Primitive Solar Environment
The heating and vaporization of dust grains in the protosolar environment is modeled in order to assess the survivability of interstellar solids during the formation of the solar system. A multidimensional, discrete ordinate radiative transfer code is used to compute thermal transport in the collapsing protosolar cloud.

Simulating galactic dust grain evolution on a moving mesh
Interstellar dust is an important component of the galactic ecosystem, playing a key role in multiple galaxy formation processes. We present a novel numerical framework for the dynamics and size evolution of dust grains implemented in the moving-mesh ...

The composition of the protosolar disk and the formation conditions for comets [PDF]
Conditions in the protosolar nebula have left their mark in the composition of cometary volatiles, thought to be some of the most pristine material in the solar system.

Galactic Abundances: Report of Working Group 3 [PDF]
We summarize the various methods and their limitations and strengths to derive galactic abundances from in-situ and remote-sensing measurements, both from ground-based observations and from instruments in space. Because galactic abundances evolve in time

Interstellar Dust Analogues: Structure, Survivability and Physical Processes [PDF]
El principal objetivo de la tesis es establecer relaciones entre la estructura microscópica o atomı́stica de análogos de polvo cósmico con una serie de propiedades quimico-fı́sicas de interés astrofı́sico. En primer lugar, se ha estudiado la relación entre la estructura de diferentes arquetipos de carbono amorfo hidrogenado (HAC) y sus propiedades
