The interstellar dust grains are swept up during the expansion of the supernova (SN) remnant, they penetrate behind the shock front, where they are heated and destroyed in the hot gas. This leads to a change in emissivity of such grains. In…

By means of 3-D hydrodynamical simulations, here we evaluate the impact that supernova explosions occurring within wind-driven bubbles have on the survival or destruction of dust grains. We consider both, the dust generated within the…

At redshift z>5 Type II supernovae (SNII) are the only known dust sources with evolutionary timescales shorter than the Hubble time. We extend the model of dust formation in the ejecta of SNII by Todini & Ferrara (2001) to investigate the…
