Interstellar Dust Research Group

This research group concentrates on studies related to interstellar dust in our galaxy and nearby galaxies (and sometimes even further away!). This group is lead by Karl Gordon and is based at STScI. Current group research concentrates on observations of nearby galaxies (SMC, LMC, M31, M33, and other local universe galaxies) mainly Spitzer IR observations) and dust radiative transfer (using the (DIRTY code).
