Modeling Circumstellar Gas Emission around a White Dwarf Using cloudy

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The chemical composition of an extrasolar planet is fundamental to its formation, evolution, and habitability. In this study, we explore a new way to measure the chemical composition of the building blocks of extrasolar planets by measuring the gas ...

The Warped Circumstellar Disk of HD 100546

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
We propose that the two armed spiral features seen in visible Hubble Space Telescope images of scattered light in HD100546's circumstellar disk are caused by the illumination of a warped outer disk. A tilt of 6-15 degrees from the symmetry plane can cause the observed surface brightness variations providing the disk is very twisted (highly warped) at ...

VLTI/GRAVITY Provides Evidence the Young, Substellar Companion HD 136164 Ab Formed Like a “Failed Star”

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Young, low-mass brown dwarfs orbiting early-type stars, with low mass ratios ( q ≲ 0.01), appear to be intrinsically rare and present a formation dilemma: could a handful of these objects be the highest-mass outcomes of “planetary” formation channels ...

Sites of Planet Formation in Binary Systems. II. Double the Disks in DF Tau

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
This article presents the latest results of our Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) program to study circumstellar disk characteristics as a function of orbital and stellar properties in a sample of young binary star systems known to host

CIRCUMSTELLAR DISKS AROUND BINARY STARS IN TAURUS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We have conducted a survey of 17 wide (> 100 AU) young binary systems in Taurus with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) at two wavelengths. The observations were designed to measure the masses of circumstellar disks in these systems as an aid to understanding the role of multiplicity in star and planet formation.

Disk in the Circumstellar Envelope of Carbon Mira V Cygni

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are the primary source of dust and complex molecules in the interstellar medium. The determination of outflow parameters is often hindered by the unknown geometry of the circumstellar environment, creating a demand for

Mass Loss in Be Stars: News from Two Fronts

open access: yesGalaxies
Be stars are characterized by the presence of a circumstellar Keplerian disk formed from material ejected from the rapidly rotating stellar surface.
