    Cosmic Amorphous Dust Model as the Origin of Anomalous Microwave Emission

    We have shown that the thermal emission of the amorphous dust composed of amorphous silicate dust (a-Si) and amorphous carbon dust (a-C) provides an excellent...

    Global morphology and physical relations between the stars, gas and dust in the disc and arms of M100.

    We study star formation processes in the disc of the weakly barred grand design spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) from a variety of images tracing recent massive...

    How a dust concentration mimics dynamical signatures around the nucleus of NGC 7331.

    Where the pheonomenon of wavelength-dependent kinematics has been observed in galaxies, it has been well modelled as a dust extinction effect. Therefore...

    Interstellar Extinction, Polarization, and Grain Alignment in the Sh 2-185 (IC 59 and IC 63) Region

    Optical and infrared continuum polarization from the interstellar medium is driven by radiative processes aligning the grains with the magnetic field. While a...

    On the Collisional Disalignment of Dust Grains in Illuminated and Shaded Regions of IC 63

    Interstellar dust grain alignment causes polarization from UV to mm wavelengths, allowing the study of the geometry and strength of the magnetic field. Over the...
