| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on infrared observations with Herschel, AKARI, and Spitzer satellites, we have studied the formation, destruction, and processing of interstellar dust grains in our Galaxy and nearby galaxies. We found that dust species that originate from supernova explosion exist predominantly in the ionized region of the Carina massive star-forming region, small organic dust is produced in violent events, e.g., shocks and galaxy collisions in a galactic scale, small organic dust is preferentially destroyed in the ionized region, and aliphatic C-H bonds in small organic dust is converted into aromatic C-H bonds in the interstellar medium. These findings provide us with a new observational view of dust formation, destruction, and processing of interstellar dust grains.
