Astro2020: Unleashing the Potential of Dust Emission as a Window onto Galaxy Evolution

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2019-03-19 v1

Abstract

We present the severe, systematic uncertainties currently facing our understanding of dust emission, which stymie our ability to truly exploit dust as a tool for studying galaxy evolution. We propose a program of study to tackle these uncertainties, describe the necessary facilities, and discuss the potential science gains that will result.
