Lectures on Interstellar Dust


In 2010 April I gave a series of lectures on interstellar dust at the Institute for Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) at the University of Tokyo. The lectures covered the following topics:

  • 1. The Observed Properties of Interstellar Dust.
  • 2. Physics of Interstellar Dust.
  • 3. Dust in Galaxies.
  • 4. Evolution of Interstellar Dust.

    The lectures were intended to provide an introduction to these topics at a level appropriate to physics or astronomy graduate students.

    The slides in pdf form are available here: (Draine_IPMU_Lectures.pdf)
