Chemical Models of Circumstellar Disks [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2000 We investigate the evolution of molecular abundances in circumstellar disks around young stars via numerical simulations. The results are compared with the composition of comets and radio observations of protoplanetary disks. First, we consider the molecular evolution in the midplane of the disk.

Natural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 4, October 2024.Large free aromatic species, with up to 61 carbon atoms, were detected in grains of the Ryugu carbonaceous asteroid using ultra‐sensitive two‐step laser mass spectrometry. This discovery confirms the presence of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the interstellar medium and provides new information on the formation and evolution of organic ...

Probing the Era of Giant Collisions: Millimeter Observations of the HD 166191 System
The Astrophysical JournalWe present nonsimultaneous Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 7 and Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the HD 166191 disk, which was recently thought to have a collision in its terrestrial planet zone.

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.Abstract We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of the globular cluster NGC 6397 and use them to extend to infrared wavelengths the characterization of the cluster's entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS). The data allows us to probe fundamental astrophysical WD properties and to search for evidence in their colors for (or against ...

Secret of Longevity: Protoplanetary Disks as a Source of Gas in Debris Disks
The Astrophysical JournalWhile protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are generally thought to disperse within several million years, recent observations have revealed gas in their older counterparts, debris disks.

Takeout and Delivery: Erasing the Dusty Signature of Late-stage Terrestrial Planet Formation
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The formation of planets like Earth is expected to conclude with a series of late-stage giant impacts that generate warm dusty debris, the most anticipated visible signpost of terrestrial planet formation in progress.

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long‐term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.Abstract RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow‐up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain‐Teleskop‐Kamera II and the ...

Limitations of the modified blackbody fit method for determining molecular cloud properties
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.Abstract Achieving a comprehensive understanding of the star and planet formation process is one of the fundamental tasks of astrophysics, requiring detailed knowledge of the physical conditions during the different phases of this process. During the earliest stages, that is, concerning physical processes in molecular clouds and filaments, the column ...
