Extending the ALMA Census of Circumstellar Disks in the Upper Scorpius OB Association

The Astrophysical Journal
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 7 continuum (340 GHz) and carbon monoxide (CO) J = 3–2 observations for an extended sample of disks in the Upper Scorpius OB Association (Upper Sco, age ∼10 Myr).

Observations of circumstellar disks in scattered light with SPHERE at the VLT

Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2023
The technological developments initiated in the early 21$^{\rm st}$ century have led to the implementation of “planet finders” instruments on 8-m class telescopes which are in operation since 2014-2015. Such facilities are at the inception of significant

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT We combine infrared (IR) observations collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with optical deep images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken ~20 years earlier to compute proper‐motion membership for the globular cluster (GC) M4 (NGC 6121) along its entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS).

MIRI MRS Observations of β Pictoris. I. The Inner Dust, the Planet, and the Gas

The Astrophysical Journal
We present JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of the β Pictoris system. We detect an infrared excess from the central unresolved point source from 5 to 7.5 μ m which is indicative of dust within the inner ∼7 au of the system.

XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...

Vertical Structure of Gas and Dust in Four Debris Disks

The Astrophysical Journal
We present high-spectral-resolution M -band spectra from iSHELL on NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility along the line of sight to the debris disk host star HD 32297. We also present a Gemini Planet Imager H -band polarimetric image of the HD 131488 debris

Interaction of a Supernova with a Circumstellar Disk [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2018
Abstract Interaction between a supernova (SN) ejecta and a dense circumstellar medium (CSM) can power a luminous light curve and create narrow emission lines in the spectra. While theoretical studies of interaction often assume a spherically symmetric CSM, there are observational indications that the gas surrounding some SNe has a disk ...

Toward an efficient second‐order method for computing the surface gravitational potential on spherical‐polar meshes

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 8, October 2024.
Abstract Astrophysical accretion discs that carry a significant mass compared with their central object are subject to the effect of self‐gravity. In the context of circumstellar discs, this can, for instance, cause fragmentation of the disc gas, and—under suitable conditions—lead to the direct formation of gas‐giant planets.

The Disks In Scorpius–Centaurus Survey (DISCS). I. Four Newly Resolved Debris Disks in Polarized Intensity Light

The Astronomical Journal
The presence of infrared excesses around stars directly correlates with spatially resolved imaging detections of circumstellar disks at both millimeter and optical/near-infrared wavelengths.

The Evolution of Circumstellar Disks in Ophiuchus Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
Four Ophiuchus binaries, two Class I systems and two Class II systems, with separations of ~450-1100 AU, were observed with the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter interferometer. In each system, the 3 mm continuum maps show dust emission at the location of the primary star, but no emission at the position of the secondary.
