Modeling Dust in Galaxy Evolution Simulations

Understand

Dust grains play a fundamental role in galaxies, influencing both their evolution and observability.

• As a result, incorporating dust physics into galaxy evolution simulations is essential.
• This is a challenging task due to the finite resolution of such simulations and the uncertainties on dust grain formation in stellar envelopes and their evolution in the Interstellar Medium (ISM).
• This report reviews some of the most commonly used techniques for modeling dust in galaxy evolution simulations, with a particular emphasis on developments from the past $\sim$10 years in both hydrodynamic and semi-analytic approaches.
