Small and Very Small Interstellar Grains

Abstract

This review summarizes the observational characteristics of those interstellar grains which are prevented from entering the solar system by interactions with the heliopause. Such grains are typically less tha 100nm in radius, and they reveal their presence by interstellar absorption at ultraviolet wavelengths and by non-equilibrium emissions in the red and near-infrared portions of the spectrum.
