• Global cycle and interstellar processing
• Evidence for evolution
• Sub-mm perspective

• cloud enveloppes
• dense cores
Dust Evolution: Physical Processes
• Photo-processing/destruction
• Amorphization by cosmic rays
• Grain shattering/sputtering in fast supernovae shocks (WNM, WIM)
• Grain shattering in turbulent clouds (CNM)
• Grain coagulation (CNM)
Act on time scales shorter than replenishment time by dying stars (a few 109 yrs)
Dust Spectral Energy Distribution
•Comp. Power Mass
•PAH 18% 6%
•VSG 15% 6%
•BG 67% 88%
Dust Evolution: Evidence
• Variations in PAH abundance in the diffuse ISM and PDRs
• Enhanced VSG abundance in low density gas: the Spica HII region
• Cold dust associated with dense molecular gas: lower temperature, larger far-IR emissivity and no small grains
=> From the diffuse ISM to molecular clouds, PAHs to large grains

• Gradual change in grain size distribution
• Not a systematic edge to center effect

Similar conclusion reached for translucent molecular cirrus(e.g. Polaris flare: Bernard et al. 1999, A&A 347, 640)

Av = 0.2 mag
Av = 0.8 mag

Enhancing the FIR/mm dust emissvity
FIR/NH = Md/NH * 1/g * <3*Qext/4a>
=> For a fixed dust to gas ratio (Md/NH ), higher values of FIR/NH for fluffy grains (lower g ) and/or higher < Qext/a> (composite grains?)

mm dust emissivityin the diffuse ISM
(1.2mm) / NH = 5.0 +/- 0.9 10-27 cm2
•Error bar = contribution from dust in H2 and HII (WIM) gas
•Corresponds to a opacity per dust mass : (1.2mm) = 0.30 cm2/g
•Comparable to the value in Draine and Lee (1984) model and observations of the Bok globule B68 (Bianchi et al. Assuming a diffuse ISM Av/NH ratio)

Summary
• Interstellar dust nature and evolution
• Its role as as a tracer of the
> ISM structure (disks, protostellar cores but also HI-H2 transition in the diffuse ISM and PDRs)
> Magnetic Field (polarisation)
• and an actor of ISM evolution
Interstellar dust observations are bringing an original perpspective on the ISM:
