What is the nature and composition of the dust grains responsible
for the visual extinction in our Galaxy and in other galaxies
beyond? What are the ranges in temperature of dust grains? Can
these be less than 2.7K? Can the distribution of cold grains be
studied optically at unprecedented arcsecond resolution? How does
the presence of dust affect the morphology of a galaxy? Is this new
dust-penetrated view bringing us to the verge of a breakthrough in
understanding the connection between galaxy morphology and the
underlying physics of galaxies? How large are the amounts of cold
molecular hydrogen gas and cold dust in galactic disks? These are
some of the key issues addressed in this book, which takes the
postgraduate reader and professional researcher to the cutting edge
of this rapidly developing field. Unique features of the book
include fourteen in-depth invited review papers and twenty-six
pages of discussion transcribed from a television tape. The
contributions reflect the entire proceedings of an intensive one
week International Conference on cold dust and galaxy morphology
held in Johannesburg, South Africa, during January 1996.
