Dust properties in the cold and hot gas phases of the ATLAS3D early-type galaxies as revealed by AKARI

T. Kokusho, H. Kaneda, M. Bureau +6

The properties of the dust in the cold and hot gas phases of early-type galaxies (ETGs) are key to understand ETG evolution. We thus conducted a systematic study of the dust in a l…
