Interstellar dust clouds catalyze simple chemical reactions, absorb, scatter, polarize, and re-radiate starlight, and form the building blocks for planet and stellar formation. Understanding this interstellar medium is then of primary importance in many areas of astronomy & astrophysics. This book provides a theoretical description of the fundamental physics of interstellar material, including a description of its composition, morphology, grai...

Offers an overview of interstellar dust and the interstellar medium. This book emphasizes astronomical formulae and astronomical problems to give a solid foundation for the further study of interstellar medium. It addresses the absorption and scattering of dust, its creation in old stars, as well as emission, cohesion, and electrical charge.
