A semi-empirical model of the spectra of dusty galaxies

In this thesis, a semi-empirical model for the infrared emission of dust around star-forming sites in galaxies is developed and then applied to fitting a variety of observations. A simple model of radiative transport in dust clouds is combined with a state-of-the-art model of the microscopic optical...
