Characteristics of Interstellar and Circumstellar Dust [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1991
Abstract: This paper reviews our current knowledge of interstellar and circumstellar dust from an observational point of view. It is concluded that interstellar dust is highly heterogenous. It consist of a large number of different materials formed in a great variety of stellar birthsites under varying conditions and each with a highly isotopically ...

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

The 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

THE SPECTROSCOPY OF THE PULSATING CARBON STAR R Lep

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
The first results of detailed spectroscopy are presented for carbon Mira R Leporis. This long-period variable is undergoing deep fadings, apparently caused by dust formation around the star.

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

The 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.

SN 2007od: A Type IIP SN with Circumstellar Interaction [PDF]

, 2010
SN 2007od exhibits characteristics that have rarely been seen in a Type IIP supernova (SN). Optical V band photometry reveals a very steep brightness decline between the plateau and nebular phases of ~4.5 mag, likely due to SN 2007od containing a low ...

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

The circumstellar envelope of AFGL 4106 [PDF]

, 1999
We present new imaging and spectroscopy of the post-red supergiant binary AFGL 4106. Coronographic imaging in H-alpha reveals the shape and extent of the ionized region in the circumstellar envelope (CSE).

Evidence of V-band polarimetric separation of carbon stars at high Galactic latitude

, 2010
Polarization is an important indicator of stellar evolution, especially for stars evolving from red-giant stage to planetary nebulae. However, not much is known about the polarimetric properties of the carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, although ...

The Morphology of the Asteroidal Dust around White Dwarf Stars: Optical and Near-infrared Pulsations in G29-38

The Astrophysical Journal
More than 36 yr have passed since the discovery of the infrared excess from circumstellar dust orbiting the white dwarf G29-38, which at 17.5 pc it is the nearest and brightest of its class.
