Alumina Polymorphism in the Circumstellar Dust Shells of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
Many emission features remain unidentified in the infrared spectra of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In particular, features at ∼11, 20, 28, and 32 μm have been noted in mid-infrared spectra of oxygen-rich AGB stars.

The Circumstellar Disk HD 169142: Gas, Dust, and Planets Acting in Concert? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
HD 169142 is an excellent target for investigating signs of planet–disk interaction due to previous evidence of gap structures. We perform J-band (∼1.2 μm) polarized intensity imaging of HD 169142 with VLT/SPHERE.

Evaluating the GeoSnap 13‐μ$$ \mu $$m cutoff HgCdTe detector for mid‐IR ground‐based astronomy

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 344, Issue 8-9, October-November 2023., 2023
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 ...

Substituent effects in the tautomerization of imidic acids R−C(OH)=NH → R−C(O)NH2: Kinetic implications for the formation of peptide bonds in the interstellar medium

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 381-391, July 2023., 2023
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.

From Dust to Nanodust: Resolving Circumstellar Dust from the Colliding-wind Binary Wolf-Rayet 140

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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.

Analysis of Methods for Computing the Trajectories of Dust Particles in a Gas–Dust Circumstellar Disk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A systematic analysis ofmethods for computing the trajectories of solid-phase particles applied in modern astrophysics codes designed for modeling gas–dust circumstellar disks has been carried out for the first time.

Prebiotic Synthesis and Isomerization in Interstellar Analog Ice: Glycinal, Acetamide, and Their Enol Tautomers

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 12, March 13, 2023., 2023
Out of the cold: Ammonia (NH3) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) are exposed to galactic cosmic ray proxies while frozen at 5 K to simulate the environment of an interstellar molecular cloud. Reactants undergo dissociation and radical recombination to produce glycinal (NH2CH2CHO) and acetamide (CH3CONH2) prior to tautomerization to 2‐aminoethenol (HOCHCHNH2 ...

Circumstellar Dust Disks in Taurus-Auriga: The Submillimeter Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present a sensitive, multiwavelength submillimeter continuum survey of 153 young stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga star formation region. The submillimeter detection rate is 61% to a completeness limit of ~10 mJy (3 σ) at 850 μm.

Early gray dust formation in the type IIn SN 2005ip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The physical characteristics of dust formed in supernovae is poorly known. In this paper, we investigate the extinction properties of dust formed in the type IIn SN 2005ip.
