My main field of interest is modelling dust extinction and emission in the disk of spiral galaxies. Radiative transfer simulations are compared to optical, FIR and sub-mm observations to assess the dust mass, distribution relative to star and optical/emission properties. ... I'm also interested in the formation, evolution and survival of dust grains in high-redshift objects, and in comparing the extinction / emission properties of dust with observations of distant sources. ...

We explore variations in dust emission within the edge-on Sd spiral galaxy NGC 4631 using 3.6-160 ЮМm Spitzer Space Telescope data and 450-850 ЮМm JCMT data with the goals of understanding the relation between PAHs and dust emission, studying the variations in the colors of the dust emission, and searching for possible excess submillimeter emission compared to what is expected from dust models extrapolated from far-infrared wavelengths. ...

Next: Jets Up: M.D. Smith Previous: High-Mass Star Formation Contents . By contrast, stars of low mass like our Sun are formed within molecular clumps. Michael Smith has been investigating the clumps and the individual cores they contain within one nearby cloud near the star Rho Ophiuchi. With Stanke (Hawaii), Khanzadyan (Heidelberg) and Gredel (Calar Alto), he has determined the masses of over 100 protostellar cores and compared this to the distribution of masses for stars. ...
