Science highlights from ground-based thermal-IR astronomy
Abstract
The thermal infrared is the wavelength regime of choice for a broad range of astronomical disciplines: from the small scales related to the dust grain properties, over the bodies of our Solar System and extrasolar planets, the stars both young and evolved and structures surrounding them, all the way to the properties of the interstellar medium and large-scale dusty formations both in the Milky Way and in other galaxies. In this talk I will give an overview of the recent science highlights exploiting ground-based thermal-infrared facilities, to lay ground for more detailed discussions of these scientific achievements, presentation of the new results, and the bright future we see ahead.
