Scientific paper

Dust grains have been detected in various astronomical objects. Interpretation of observations of dusty objects includes three components: 1) determination of the materials which can exist in the solid phase and the measurements or acquisition of their optical constants; 2) selection of the light scattering theory in order to convert the optical constants into the optical properties of particles; and 3) the proper choice of the object model which includes, in particular, the correct treatment of the radiative transfer effects. The current state of the components of dust modeling and the reliability of information obtained on the cosmic dust from transmitted, scattered and emitted radiation are discussed.
