Prebiotic Synthesis and Isomerization in Interstellar Analog Ice: Glycinal, Acetamide, and Their Enol Tautomers

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 12, March 13, 2023., 2023
Out of the cold: Ammonia (NH3) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) are exposed to galactic cosmic ray proxies while frozen at 5 K to simulate the environment of an interstellar molecular cloud. Reactants undergo dissociation and radical recombination to produce glycinal (NH2CH2CHO) and acetamide (CH3CONH2) prior to tautomerization to 2‐aminoethenol (HOCHCHNH2 ...

Evaluating the GeoSnap 13‐μ$$ \mu $$m cutoff HgCdTe detector for mid‐IR ground‐based astronomy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023
Abstract New mid‐infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10‐μ$$ \mu $$m sensors for space‐ and ground‐based observatories. Building on the successful development of longwave HAWAII‐2RGs for space missions such as NEO Surveyor, we characterize the first 13‐μ ...

First Observations With a GNSS Antenna to Radio Telescope Interferometer

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 58, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract We describe the design of a radio interferometer composed of a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) antenna and a Very Long Baseline Interferometry radio telescope. Our eventual goal is to use this interferometer for geodetic applications including local tie measurements.

CO2 Ocean Bistability on Terrestrial Exoplanets

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 127, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Cycling of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and interior of rocky planets can stabilize global climate and enable planetary surface temperatures above freezing over geologic time. However, variations in global carbon budget and unstable feedback cycles between planetary sub‐systems may destabilize the climate of rocky exoplanets toward ...

The harsh environment where exoplanets live

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 343, Issue 4, May 2022., 2022
Abstract The X‐ray and Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) actvity of the Sun has determined important effects on the planets around it. In particular, high doses of X‐rays, flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) combined with masses and sizes of the planets and the shielding action of the planetary magnetic fields have determined the diverse habitability of ...

Avalanches and the Distribution of Reconnection Events in Magnetized Circumstellar Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Cosmic rays produced by young stellar objects can potentially alter the ionization structure, heating budget, chemical composition, and accretion activity in circumstellar disks.

Mass Accretion Processes in Young Stellar Objects: Role of Intense Flaring Activity

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014
According to the magnetospheric accretion scenario, young low-mass stars are surrounded by circumstellar disks which they interact with through accretion of mass. The accretion builds up the star to its nal mass and is also believed to power the mass out

Polarization in the GG Tau Ring—Confronting Dust Self-scattering, Dust Mechanical and Magnetic Alignment, Spirals, and Dust Grain Drift

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) polarization observations at 3 and 0.9 mm toward the GG Tau A system. In the ring, the percentage is relatively homogeneous at 3 mm, being 1.2%, while it exhibits a clear radial variation at 0.
