  • Multiwavelength observations of interstellar dust 
    Murthy, J (Astronomical Society of India, 2001)
    Interstellar dust is important in virtually every aspect of Galactic and extragalactic astronomy - whether one simply wants to correct for its effects or to study galactic dynamics and processes. Interstellar dust is found ...
