Abstract

[Along with the gas there is a ubiquitous solid component of the diffuse medium, loosely referred to as dust. Its presence was first inferred by distance dependent chromatic extinction (reddening) of starlight. But with satellite observations in the ultraviolet and far infrared, its thermal properties, spatial distribution, and physical makeup have been inferred. In this chapter we discuss the measurement of dust and its relation to the diffuse atomic and molecular gas.]
