Circumstellar Dust, PAHs, and Stellar Populations in Early-Type Galaxies: Insights from GALEX and WISE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A majority of early-type galaxies contain interstellar dust, yet the origin of this dust, and why the dust sometimes exhibits unusual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ratios, remains a mystery.

CIRCUMSTELLAR DUST AROUND AGB STARS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INFRARED EMISSION FROM GALAXIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Stellar population synthesis (SPS) models are used to infer many galactic properties including star formation histories, metallicities, and stellar and dust masses.

Astromineralogy of Circumstellar Oxide Dust [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005
Oxides are among the less abundant species of cosmic dust (as compared, e.g., to silicates). Nevertheless, they are of decisive importance for the first stages of the condensation process in oxygen-rich circumstellar shells of AGB stars. The present work gives an overview of oxygen dust species that have been examined so far by means of astronomical ...

Grain Growth and Dust Segregation Revealed by Multiwavelength Analysis of the Class I Protostellar Disk WL 17

open access: yesThe 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.

ISO spectroscopy of circumstellar dust in the Herbig Ae systems AB Aur and HD 163296 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Using both the Short- and Long-wavelength Spectrometers on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), we have obtained infrared spectra of the Herbig Ae systems AB Aur and HD 163296. In addition, we obtained ground-based N band images of HD 163296.

Delayed Shock-induced Dust Formation in the Dense Circumstellar Shell Surrounding the Type IIn Supernova SN 2010jl [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The light curves of Type IIn supernovae are dominated by the radiative energy released through the interaction of the supernova shock waves with their dense circumstellar medium (CSM).

Temperature Distributions in Circumstellar Dust Shells [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
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.

Experimental Phase Function and Degree of Linear Polarization of Light Scattered by Hydrogenated Amorphous Carbon Circumstellar Dust Analogs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Astronomical observations of the polarized intensity of scattered visible light have revealed the presence of dust envelopes around different types of evolved stars.

Constraining dust properties in circumstellar envelopes of C-stars in the Magellanic Clouds: Optical constants and grain size of carbon dust [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016
We present a new approach aimed at constraining the typical size and optical properties of carbon dust grains in Circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of carbon-rich stars (C-stars) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).
