Dust, its composition, and evolution in the universe

Event Start:
2021-11-22T15:00:00
Event End:
2021-11-22T16:00:00
Event Information:

Interstellar dust plays a crucial role in the formation of stars and the evolution and assembly of galaxies. Extinction provides an indirect measure of the enrichment process and conditions within an environment. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are excellent probes for studying dust and metals in the distant universe, since they unveil the intergalactic medium along the line of sight and the interstellar medium surrounding the GRB event within its host galaxy.
