Observing dust settling and coagulation in circumstellar discs: Selected constraints from high resolution imaging [PDF]
, 2010 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.

Circumstellar dust shells of hot post-AGB stars [PDF]
, 2004 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 ...

Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Our Galaxy [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Open Research EuropeAs we learn more about the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, we develop a greater understanding for the complex relationships between the large-scale diffuse gas and dust in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), how it moves, how it is ...

NIKA2 observations around LBV stars Emission from stars and circumstellar material [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) stars are evolved massive objects, previous to core-collapse supernova. LBVs are characterized by photometric and spectroscopic variability, produced by strong and dense winds, mass-loss events and very intense UV radiation ...

Yellow Supergiants and Post-red Supergiant Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The empirical evidence for an upper-mass limit for the red supergiant (RSG) progenitors of the Type II-P SNe at about 18 MSun, raises questions about the fate of the most luminous, most massive RSGs.

Dust Disks Around Young Stellar Objects [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2016 To reproduce the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of young stellar objects (YSOs), we perform radiative transfer model calculations for the circumstellar dust disks with various shapes and many dust species.

AGB Stars and Their Circumstellar Envelopes. I. the VULCAN Code
Universe, 2021 The interplay between AGB interiors and their outermost layers, where molecules and dust form, is a problem of high complexity. As a consequence, physical processes like mass loss, which depend on the chemistry of the circumstellar envelope, are often ...

Dust Coagulation in Oxygen-rich Circumstellar Outflows
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We show that the inefficient growth of SiO molecules on (SiO) _x dust grains prolongs the period of maximum dust nucleation in circumstellar outflows resulting in a several orders-of-magnitude increase in the dust density near the star.

Dust-grain processing in circumbinary discs around evolved binaries. The RV Tauri spectral twins RU Cen and AC Her [PDF]
, 2007 Context: We study the structure and evolution of circumstellar discs around evolved binaries and their impact on the evolution of the central system. Aims: To study in detail the binary nature of RUCen and ACHer, as well as the structure and mineralogy ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The first step toward planet formation is grain growth from (sub)micrometer to millimeter/centimeter sizes. Grain growth has been reported not only in Class II protoplanetary disks but also in Class 0/I protostellar envelopes.
