Comets and Circumstellar Dust [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 2002 AbstractSpectra obtained with the Infrared Space Observatory ISO of the dusty disks surrounding young stars display several characteristics which suggest the presence of large amounts of cometary material during these early stages. Of special interest are crystalline silicates and hydrated silicates, which surprisingly appear to be present already in ...

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.

Composite circumstellar dust grains [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 We calculate the absorption efficiencies of composite silicate grains with inclusions of graphite and silicon carbide in the spectral range 5--25$\rm μm$. We study the variation in absorption profiles with volume fractions of inclusions. In particular we study the variation in the wavelength of peak absorption at 10 and 18$\rm μm$.

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.

Astromineralogy of Circumstellar Oxide Dust [PDF]
Publications 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 ...

The Circumstellar Dust of “Born-Again” Stars [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2015 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 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.
