Abstract EN
This paper reviews the current status of theoretical modeling of electric dipole radiation from spinning dust grains.
The fundamentally simple problem of dust grain rotation appeals to a rich set of concepts of classical and quantum physics, owing to the diversity of processes involved.
Rotational excitation and damping rates through various mechanisms are discussed, as well as methods of computing the grain angular momentum distribution function.
Assumptions on grain properties are reviewed.
The robustness of theoretical predictions now seems mostly limited by the uncertainties regarding the grains themselves, namely, their abundance, dipole moments, and size and shape distribution.
