Imaging of the Vega Debris System Using JWST/MIRI

The Astrophysical Journal
We present images of the Vega planetary debris disk obtained at 15.5, 23, and 25.5 μ m with the Mid-Infrared Instrument on JWST. The debris system is remarkably symmetric, smooth, and centered accurately on the star.

Observations of the Chemistry in Circumstellar Disks [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2000
Circumstellar disks around classical T Tauri stars have still large amounts of primary molecular gas and dust, which may evolve to form planetary systems. Although it is the remnant of the parental cloud, the gas component shows significant chemical evolution.

Characterizing the dynamical magnetosphere of the extremely slowly rotating magnetic O9.7 V star HD 54879 using rotational modulation of the Hα profile

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract The magnetic field in the O9.7 V star HD 54879 has been monitored for almost a decade. Spectropolarimetric observations reveal a rather strong mean longitudinal magnetic field that varies with a period of about 7.41 years. Observations in the Hα$$ \alpha $$ line show a variation with the same period, while the Hβ$$ \beta $$ line shows only ...

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

The 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.

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

The 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

The 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]

Proceedings 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.

Simulations of Multiple Dust Ring Formation in a Subsolar-metallicity Protoplanetary Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
Super-Earths exist around subsolar-metallicity host stars with a frequency comparable to that around solar-metallicity stars, suggesting efficient assembly of dust grains even in metal-deficient environments.

Irradiated Disks May Settle into Staircases

The Astrophysical Journal
Much of a protoplanetary disk is thermally controlled by irradiation from the central star. Such a disk, long thought to have a smoothly flaring shape, is unstable due to the so-called irradiation instability .
