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 …

With the advent of the new generation wide-field cameras it became possible to survey in an
unbiased mode galaxies spanning a variety of local densities, from the core of rich clusters …

One of the key open questions in extragalactic astronomy is what stops star formation in
galaxies. While it is clear that the cold gas reservoir, which fuels the formation of new stars …

The polarized thermal emission from diffuse Galactic dust is the main foreground present in
measurements of the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at …

We study the dust content of galaxies from z= 0 to z= 9 in semi-analytic models of galaxy
formation that include new recipes to track the production and destruction of dust. We …

We use deep Herschel observations taken with both PACS and SPIRE imaging cameras to
estimate the dust mass of a sample of galaxies extracted from the GOODS-S, GOODS-N and …

Context. The efficiency of the different processes responsible for the evolution of interstellar
dust on the scale of a galaxy are, to date, very uncertain, spanning several orders of …

The Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE) is a blind narrow-
band (NB) Hα+[NII] imaging survey carried out with MegaCam at the Canada–France …

The Herschel Reference Survey is a complete volume-limited, K-band-selected sample of
nearby objects including Virgo cluster and isolated objects. Using a recent compilation of Hi …

Aims. Within the framework of the DustPedia project we investigate the properties of cosmic
dust and its interaction with stellar radiation (originating from different stellar populations) for …
