Abstract
A composite interstellar dust model is built in order to understand the infrared colors of various astronomical objects including the low-density interstellar medium (HI, H2, and HII) in cirrus, reflection nebulae, and HII regions. Taking into account the various constraints on the different dust components, in particular coming from IRAS data, we show that a bimodal rather than continuous size distribution between small and big grains is the most favorable solution.
