      Myrvang, Margaretha (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-14)
      Many stars are known to have dust disks, which are created through collisions between planetesimals, comparable to comets and asteroids in our solar system. Cosmic dust around a star absorbs electromagnetic radiation and re-radiates at a longer wavelength, determined by its temperature. The thermal emission of the dust can be observed. In certain systems, including the solar system, some of the dust ...
