It is a fact that dust is ubiquitous almost in all the sectors of astrophysical fluids. Can anyone give the "dust-to-gas ratio" in varied cases?

Dear Colleagues,
It is a fact that dust is ubiquitous almost in all the sectors of astrophysical plasma fluids. Can anyone give the quantitative values of the "dust-to-gas ratio" in varied astronomical circumstantial cases? Appropriated references are most welcome.
Kind regards,
PK Karmakar

The relativistic Weibel instability has received much attention because of its potential application to astrophysical problems. The purpose of this paper is to correct certain erroneous expressions in the author’s early paper on the subject [ P. H. Yoon, Phys. Fluids B 1, 1336 (1989) ], to discuss further properties of the relativistic Weibel insta...

Starting from the effective potentials describing the interaction of a single neutrino with a background species and the concept of ponderomotive force of neutrinos, we develop a collisionless relativistic kinetic theory for neutrinos coupled with a background medium. This formalism provides the basic tool for the physics of collective neutrino-pla...

Although macroscale features dominate astrophysical images and energetics, the physics is controlled through microscale transport processes (conduction, diffusion) that mediate the flow of mass, momentum, energy, and charge. These microphysical processes manifest themselves in key (all) boundary layers and also operate within the body of the plasma...
