Lecture
Dust Grains and Star Formation
Description
This lecture discusses the emission from dust grains in the interstellar medium, their distribution in molecular clouds, and their impact on observing young stars. It also explores how far infrared radiation can be used to probe star formation obscured by dust, and the unexpected correlation between far infrared and radio luminosity in galaxies.
