dc.descriptionThis chapter discusses Galactic dust and how its thermal emission confuses CMBR measurements. Interstellar dust grains are composed of many differing species, and observational evidence has only begun to disentagle their composition and sizes. Fortunately, their far-IR/millimeter emission is less complex. We describe how a very simple two-species model can describe the emission at 200 < nu < 3000 GHz to high precision. At lower frequencies, other non-thermal processes may dominate the emission from dust.
