Chiroptical properties of membrane glycerophospholipids and their chiral backbones

open access: yesChirality, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2024.
Examination of the interaction of glycerophospholipids with circularly polarized light suggests that direct induction of symmetry breaking to membrane lipids by chiral photons is unlikely. However, anisotropy spectra of certain analogs indicate potential alternative mechanisms for the origins of membrane lipid homochirality, providing insights into the

Imaging the circumstellar dust around AGB stars with PolCor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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

Dust Stratification in Young Circumstellar Disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present high-resolution infrared spectra of four YSOs (T Tau N, T Tau S, RNO 91, and HL Tau). The spectra exhibit narrow absorption lines of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O, as well as broad emission lines of gas-phase 12CO. The narrow absorption lines of CO are

Synthetic Modeling of Polarized Dust Emission in Intermediate-mass Young Stellar Objects. II. Effects of Radiative Torque Disruption on Dust Grains in Protostellar Jets/Outflows

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
One possible explanation for the presence of very large grains (VLGs) larger than 10 μ m in the inner envelope of intermediate-mass Class 0/I young stellar objects is their migration from the protostellar disk via outflows. To assess whether RATD hinders

Multiband ALMA Polarization Observations of BHB 07-11 Reveal Aligned Dust Grains in Complex Spiral Arm Structures

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Polarization-mode observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are powerful tools for studying the dust grain populations in circumstellar disks.

The Role of Dust in Circumstellar Chemistry [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
The outer envelopes of the outflows from late-type stars where the dust and molecules have already been formed and the matter has been accelerated to its terminal velocity are the focus of this review. One major role for grains in the circumstellar chemistry is the protection of molecules against photodissociation by ambient interstellar ultraviolet ...

Hydrodynamical models and synthetic spectra of circumstellar dust shells around AGB stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We present a sample of hydrodynamical steady state models of circumstellar gas/dust shells around late type giants together with computed spectral energy distributions (SEDs).

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
