Project description
For 32 galaxies across the Hubble sequence the gas-to-dust ratio will be studied in unprecedented detail. Also, for the very first time the relation between interstellar dust and total mass will be investigated for different phases of galaxy evolution. Finally, a new method to trace the density of the interstellar medium will be thoroughly tested.
