Over the past decade the study of the formation and properties of
interstellar grains has assumed a growing importance, going much
beyond what might have been guessed only a few years ago. It has
come to be understood that grains playa role in processes other
than the simple absorption and scattering of starlight, which was
all that the astronomers of a generation aga considered to be their
relevance. Grains indeed playa critical role in controlling the
temperature, composition, and states of aggregation of the whole
interstellar medium. Among the still mysterious problems is the
origin of the vast clouds of obscuring material that is observed in
radiogalaxies like NGC 5128 and M 82, which may weIl be associated
with the explosions of very massive objects. It is safe to say that
from this growing field of study much still remains to be dis
covered. The topics discussed in this volume will make clear to the
reader the range and versatility of the subjects. F. HOYLE FOREWORD
by THE PRINCIPAL The Symposium on Solid State Astrophysics held in
July 1974 brought to University College Cardiff a large and very
distinguished gathering of astronomers. It was the first time that
such a collection of scholars, absorbed with the problem of the
systems of outer space, had collected together in Wales, and so
provided a splendid spring board for the researches of the newly
founded group of astronomers in the Department of Applied
Mathematics and Astronomy at University College."
