Interstellar dust
Description
A summary is made of key observational and theoretical criteria for determining the principal chemical composition of cosmic dust. These data are used to give a self-consistent picture of the grains which is then used to infer a particular grain model. Basic observations, the interstellar medium, basic scattering relations, grain model, physical problems, photochemistry of dust grains, evolution of dust, and infrared emission by galactic dust are discussed. The bimodel model is mainly used. 200 references
