This article gives an overview of the constitution, physical conditions, and observables of
dust in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. We first review the macroscopic, spatial …

Here we introduce the interstellar dust modelling framework THEMIS (The Heterogeneous
dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids), which takes a global view of dust and its …

Aims. The goal of this paper is to analyse the behaviour of the gas-to-dust mass ratio (G/D)
of local Universe galaxies over a wide metallicity range. We especially focus on the low …

Abstract The European Space Agency has invested heavily in two cornerstones missions:
Herschel and Planck. The legacy data from these missions provides an unprecedented …

Recent observations which resolved the mid-infrared (MIR) emission of nearby active
galactic nuclei (AGNs), surprisingly revealed that their dust emission appears prominently …

Context. There is a long-standing and large discrepancy between the timescale for dust
formation around evolved stars and the rapid dust destruction timescale in interstellar …

Aims. We aim to study the fraction of stellar radiation absorbed by dust, f abs, in 814 galaxies
of different morphological types. The targets constitute the vast majority (93%) of the …

We model the thermal dust emission from dust grains heated by synchrotron radiation and
by particle collisions, under conditions appropriate for four different shocked and unshocked …

The star formation rate and the mass of interstellar medium (ISM) have a high predictive
power for the future evolution of a galaxy. Nevertheless, deriving such properties is not …

Context. Observations of edge-on galaxies allow us to investigate the vertical extent and
properties of dust, gas and stellar distributions. NGC 891 has been studied for decades and …
