Deep Search for a Scattered Light Dust Halo Around Vega with the Hubble Space Telescope

The Astronomical Journal
We present a provisory scattered-light detection of the Vega debris disk using deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) coronagraphy (PID 16666). At only 7.7 pc, Vega is immensely important in debris disk studies both for its prominence and also because it ...

Azimuthal Dust Polarization from Aerodynamically Aligned Grains as Evidence for the Streaming Instability in Protoplanetary Disks

The Astrophysical Journal
(Sub)millimeter dust polarization in protoplanetary disks has revealed the presence of large (∼100  μ m) dust grains that are aligned along their long axis following the azimuthal direction of the disk.

Light Echoes of Time-resolved Flares and Application to Kepler Data

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Light echoes of stellar flares provide an intriguing option for exploring protoplanetary disks in young stellar systems. Previous work on light echoes of circumstellar disks made use of delta-function flares for modeling.

A Census of the β Pic Moving Group and Other Nearby Associations with Gaia

The Astronomical Journal
I have used the third data release of the Gaia mission to improve the reliability and completeness of membership samples in the β Pic moving group (BPMG) and other nearby associations with ages of 20–50 Myr (Sco Body, Carina, Columba, χ ^1 For, Tuc-Hor ...

Understanding Balmer Decrements in T Tauri Stars in Terms of Multiflow Magnetospheric Accretion

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetospheric accretion is the paradigm for accretion in classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs). However, the standard, one-flow magnetospheric accretion model fails to replicate important characteristics such as the observed Balmer decrements. We address this

High-velocity Circumstellar Gas Orbiting a White Dwarf Star

The Astrophysical Journal
Numerous white dwarf stars are known to be orbited by disks of gas and dust. To date, broad, ∼300 km s ^−1 wide, gaseous circumstellar absorption features have only been reported for the already iconic WD 1145+017, where one is witnessing the breakup of ...

A JWST MIRI MRS View of the η Tel Debris Disk and Its Brown Dwarf Companion

The Astrophysical Journal
We report JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of the β Pic moving-group member, η Tel A, along with its brown dwarf binary companion, η Tel B.

Exploring the Complex Ionization Environment of the Turbulent DM Tau Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
Ionization drives important chemical and dynamical processes within protoplanetary disks, including the formation of organics and water in the cold midplane and the transportation of material via accretion and magnetohydrodynamic flows.
