The quantity of dust in a spiral disk can be estimated using the dust's typical emission or the extinction of a known source.

Hence, they depend differently on the average number and optical depth of ISM structures in the disk. The small-scale geometry of the cold ISM is critical for accurate models of the overall energy budget of spiral disks. ...
