Characteristics of Interstellar and Circumstellar Dust
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract:
This paper reviews our current knowledge of interstellar and circumstellar dust from an observational point of view. It is concluded that interstellar dust is highly heterogenous. It consist of a large number of different materials formed in a great variety of stellar birthsites under varying conditions and each with a highly isotopically anomalous composition in its main elements.
