Overview

This volume deals with an increasingly important topic in astrophysics, which arises from the technology which allows observations in the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The book provides a complete survey of the field, presenting ground-based observations as well as satellite-based results. Laboratory experiments with dust are also presented. Further topics include theoretical work on dust around young stellar objects and its role for star formation.
