Non-stoichiometric amorphous magnesium-iron silicates in circumstellar dust shells. Dust growth in outflows from supergiants [PDF]
Aims. We study the growth of dust in oxygen-rich stellar outflows in order to find out to which extent dust growth models can quantitatively reconcile with the quantities and nature of dust as derived from observations of the infrared emission from ...

Early evolution of viscous and self-gravitating circumstellar disks with a dust component [PDF]
Context. Aims. The long-term evolution of a circumstellar disk starting from its formation and ending in the T Tauri phase was simulated numerically with the purpose of studying the evolution of dust in the disk with distinct values of the viscous α ...

ON ABSORPTION BY CIRCUMSTELLAR DUST, WITH THE PROGENITOR OF SN 2012aw AS A CASE STUDY [PDF]
We use the progenitor of SN 2012aw to illustrate the consequences of modeling circumstellar dust using Galactic (interstellar) extinction laws that (1) ignore dust emission in the near-IR and beyond, (2) average over dust compositions, and (3 ...

Imaging the circumstellar dust around AGB stars with PolCor [PDF]
Aims. The aim of this paper is to investigate how the new imaging Polarimeter and Coronograph (PolCor) at the Nordic Optical Telescope** (NOT) can be used in the study of circumstellar structures around AGB stars. The purpose is to prepare for a study of

Circumstellar dust shells of hot post-AGB stars [PDF]
Using a radiative transfer code (DUSTY) parameters of the circumstellar dust shells of 15 hot post-AGB stars have been derived. Combining the optical, near and far-infrared (ISO, IRAS) data of the stars, we have reconstructed their spectral energy ...

Is Phenylnitrene a Missing Link in the Formation of Polycyclic Aromatic Nitrogen Heterocycles? [PDF]
A new formation pathway for polycyclic aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (PANHs) has been found. The reaction of phenylnitrene and the propargyl radical leads to quinoline, proving that nitrenes are suitable precursors for nitrogen incorporation mechanisms.

Observing dust settling and coagulation in circumstellar discs: Selected constraints from high resolution imaging [PDF]
Circumstellar discs are expected to be the nursery of planets. Grain growth within such discs is the first step in the planet formation process in the core-accretion gas-capture scenario.

Laboratory measurement of optical constants of solid SiO and application to circumstellar dust [PDF]
Context. Silicate minerals belong to the most abundant solids that form in cosmic environments. Their formation requires that a suffi cient number of oxygen atoms per silicon atom is freely available.

CIRCUMSTELLAR DUST AROUND AGB STARS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INFRARED EMISSION FROM GALAXIES [PDF]
Stellar population synthesis (SPS) models are used to infer many galactic properties including star formation histories, metallicities, and stellar and dust masses.

The first 8–13μm spectra of globular cluster red giants: circumstellar silicate dust grains in 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) [PDF]
We present 8-13 micron spectra of eight red giants in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), obtained at the European Southern Observatory 3.6m telescope. These are the first mid-infrared spectra of metal-poor, low-mass stars.
