Dust evolution in the star forming turbulent interstellar medium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006
Abstract
Understanding interstellar dust evolution is a major challenge underlying the interpretation of Spitzer observations of interstellar clouds, star forming regions and galaxies. I illustrate on-going work along two directions. I outline the potential impact of interstellar turbulence on the abundance of small dust particles in the diffuse interstellar medium and translucent sections of molecular clouds. I present results from an analysis of ISO and Spitzer observations of the central part of 30 Doradus, looking for dust evolution related to the radiative and dynamical impact of the R136 super star cluster on its parent molecular cloud.
