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.

The Circumstellar Dust of “Born-Again” Stars [PDF]
We describe the evolution of the carbon dust shells around Very Late Thermal Pulse (VLTP) objects as seen at infrared wavelengths. This includes a 20-year overview of the evolution of the dust around Sakurai's object (to which Olivier made a seminal contribution) and FG Sge. VLTPs may occur during the endpoint of as many as 25% of solar mass stars, and

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.

Temperature Distributions in Circumstellar Dust Shells [PDF]
The knowledge of the temperature distribution in circumstellar dust shells (CDS) is needed for both the calculation of the emergent IR spectrum and the modelling of physical processes, e.g. dust formation.

Abstract The kinetics of the tautomerization of thio‐imidic acids RC(SH)NH were determined at low (50–300 K) and high (500–1500 K) temperatures as R was varied to encompass mono‐ and diatomic species H, F, HO, NC, CN through H2N, HC(O), HC(S), HC≡ C, H3C, F3C, HOCH2, H2C=CH, CH3C(O), H2NCH2 and including ethyl, isopropyl and phenyl groups. The presence

Evaluating the GeoSnap 13‐μ$$ \mu $$m cutoff HgCdTe detector for mid‐IR ground‐based astronomy
Abstract New mid‐infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10‐μ$$ \mu $$m sensors for space‐ and ground‐based observatories. Building on the successful development of longwave HAWAII‐2RGs for space missions such as NEO Surveyor, we characterize the first 13‐μ ...

From Dust to Nanodust: Resolving Circumstellar Dust from the Colliding-wind Binary Wolf-Rayet 140
Wolf-Rayet (WR) 140 is the archetypal periodic dust-forming colliding-wind binary that hosts a carbon-rich WR (WC) star and an O-star companion with an orbital period of 7.93 yr and an orbital eccentricity of 0.9.

Abstract A number of amides, RC(O)NH2, have been detected spectroscopically in the space between the stars. Naturally the study of how these are formed is an important question on the path of chemical evolution from the elements C, H, N, O, P, … to life because the so‐called peptide‐bond −C(O)−NH− is a key linkage in poly‐amino acids or proteins.
