JWST-TST High Contrast: Asymmetries, Dust Populations, and Hints of a Collision in the β Pictoris Disk with NIRCam and MIRI

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the first JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) observations of the prominent debris disk around β Pictoris.

Takeout and Delivery: Erasing the Dusty Signature of Late-stage Terrestrial Planet Formation

open access: yesThe 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.

Warping, dust settling and dynamics of protoplanetary disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The research presented in this thesis investigates several aspects of the evolutionary processes of T Tauri stars and their accompanying circumstellar disks.

Discovery and Classification of New Circumstellar Disks from the AllWISE Catalog with Disk Detective

open access: yes, 2019
In its five years since launch, DiskDetective.org has led to many new discoveries in the field of circumstellar disks. In my dissertation, I present two major emphases of the project: statistical characterization of infrared excess sources from AllWISE ...

L1448 IRS3B: Dust Polarization Aligned with Spiral Features, Tracing Gas Flows

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Circumstellar disk dust polarization in the (sub)millimeter is, for the most part, not from dust grain alignment with magnetic fields but rather indicative of a combination of dust self-scattering with a yet unknown alignment mechanism that is consistent

Discovery of Volatile Gas in the Giant Impact Disk Around the 150 Myr Old HD 23514

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the discovery of CO _2 gas emission around HD 23514, an F5V star in the ∼150 Myr old Pleiades cluster, hosting one of the rare giant-impact disks with unique mineralogy dominated by silica dust. We show that the dust feature remains stable over

Tracing Planets in Circumstellar Disks [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2005
We present simulations which demonstrate to which extent mid-infrared images and millimeter maps can be used to trace the location of giant planets in circumstellar disks. The most promising approach is to look for characteristic signatures in circumstellar disks caused by the interaction of giant planets with the disk.

A λ = 1.3 mm Survey for Disks around Herbig Be Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a survey of 24 Herbig Be stars (young stellar objects >3  M _⊙ ) within 3 kpc at 1.3 mm using the Submillimeter Array at ∼1″ resolution to identify circumstellar disks and assess planet forming potential.

Morphological components analysis for circumstellar disks imaging

open access: yes, 2020
Recent developments in astronomical observations enable direct imaging of circumstellar disks. Precise characterization of such extended structure is essential to our understanding of stellar systems.

Stability of liquid bridges between twisted elliptical disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The influence in the stability of long liquid bridges supported between two elliptical-shaped disks of their main axis relative orientation is investigated.
