| Popis: | The main results of an extensive study of the infrared emission from the nearby interstellar medium are presented. These results are used to discuss the origin of the infrared emission from the solar neigbourhood. We show that altough most of the emission comes from interstellar matter not associated with current star formation, about half of the heating of grains is provided by ultraviolet photons radiated by stars younger than few 108 yrs. |
