    Dust Formation in a Primitive Environment
    Observations suggest that Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars contribute significantly to the dust budgets of galaxies, from our own Presolar Nebula to the...
  • Publication
    Dust from AGBs: understanding the Spitzer observations of evolved stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
    Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars represent one of the main stellar sources for production of dust in the Universe. We provide a description of the formation...
  • Publication
    Dust grain alignment in IC 63 - H2 formation enhancement and collisional disalignment
    Interstellar dust grain alignment gives rise to polarization from UV to mm wavelengths, allowing the study of the geometry and strength of the magnetic field...
  • Publication
    Dust in R Coronae Borealis stars
    R Coronae Borealis stars (RCBs) provide an unique circumstellar environment that is hydrogen-deficient, helium-rich and carbon-rich in which dust condensation...
  • Publication
    Dust in spiral galaxies.
    Telescopes on La Palma and at La Silla have been used to compare dust extinction in external galaxies with our own Galaxy.
  • Publication
    Dust in the Wind: testing a new paradigm for the nature of AGN feedback
    Understanding the ouflows driven by Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is of key importance for the modern view of galaxy evolution. A recent paradigm shift in our...
  • Publication
    Dust properties at redshift >0
    Dust is present everywhere in the Universe. Dust absorbs and scatters light dimming the astrophysical sources. Precise measurements of the attenuation...
  • Publication
    Dust properties in the circumstellar shells of evolved stars: Observational constraints from ISO and Spitzer infrared spectroscopy
    We present the results of a systematic analysis of the solid state features identified in the circumstellar environments of a large sample of evolved stars with...
  • Publication
    Dust, gas, and metallicity in compact Galactic disk planetary nebulae: the missing evolutionary link
    Planetary nebulae (PNe) are ideal probes of dust formation and evolution in low- and intermediate- mass stars. The analysis of dust emission in the 5 to 40...
