Abstract

We have considered some millimetric observations of our Galaxy and of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) taken at the Italian Base in Antarctica. Using other submm data and fitting all the observations with a modified Planck curve, we have obtained useful information about the temperaure T and the spectral index α of the dust grains both for the Galaxy and the LMC. For the galactic spectrum two different couples of T and α match the detected fluxes:a)T=7K, α=2;b)T=15K, α=1.1. We have tried to identify the nature of the dust grains responsible for the submm and mm emission by comparing these results with the spectral trend of some cosmic analogues studied in laboratory. © 1993 Società Italiana di Fisica.
