Optics of Cosmic Dust Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Optics of Cosmic Dust Bratislava, Slovak Republic 16 19 November 2001

Optics of Cosmic Dust describes what we currently know about cosmic dust, how we know it, and the research efforts undertaken to provide that knowledge. Areas treated include observational information, dust morphology and chemistry, light-scattering models, characterisation methodologies, and backscatter polarisation and dynamics. Suitable as an introductory text, the book is also a reference guide for the advanced researcher.
