Dust Dynamics in the Galactic Disk-Halo Vicinity

We report on the dynamics of interstellar dust grains above the plane of the Milky Way. Our Galactic model closely matches its large-scale observed properties, namely the luminosity output, the gas content and distribution, as well as the extinction of starlight by dust. The gravitational model i...
