| Abstract |
Latest results of far-IR imaging by AKARI, Spizter, and Herschel have suggested that interactions between stellar winds and the interstellar medium (ISM) are not uncommon. These findings imply that circumstellar dust grains can be processed at the interface between stellar winds and the ISM before they are injected into the ISM and become ISM dust grains, and that there may be significant implications to our understanding of "Galactic dust grains". I will review the latest far-IR observations on the interface regions between stellar winds and the ISM and discuss what follow-up studies with ALMA and SPICA will help enhance our understanding of dust "production" by stars. |
