... It is highly obscured by foreground stars and dust of the Milky Way, making it diffult to measure its properties in optical images from ground-based telescopes. ...
... The molecular gas masses derived from CO and dust methods are quite discrepant and stress the large uncertainties on the true molecular mass present in these compact galaxies which may harbor a significant reservoir of ``CO-dark'' molecular gas. ...
... PILOT is a balloon-borne experiment dedicated to measuring the far-infrared polarized emission from dust in the diffuse ISM of our galaxy and nearby galaxies. ...
... Millimeter interferometers provide direct access to the cool material in these disks, enabling resolved observations of dust morphology and properties, as well as the thermal, chemical, and dynamical structure of gas, all of which impact what kind of ...
... To shed light on these obscure topics, I will present our on-going observations of dust and molecular gas with a number of different (sub)mm facilities such as Herschel, APEX, IRAM or ALMA of one important star forming galaxy population in the distant ...
... by B rbel Koribalski (CASS) . ESO 215-G?009 is a rather isolated, nearby dwarf irregular galaxy, somewhat obscured by Milky Way stars and dust. ...
