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.

RR Tel: Determination of Dust Properties During Minimum Obscuration

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2012
the ISO infrared spectra and the SAAO long-term JHKL photometry of RR Tel in the epochs during minimum obscuration are studied in order to construct a circumstellar dust model.

Circumstellar Dust Shells [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1975
The optical properties of circumstellar graphite particle shells are considered. In the case of the optically thin shell (e.g. the shell of a RCB star after minimum), the temperature of the grains is calculated. It is shown that the dust shell always has a sharp inner border. The RCB phenomenon may be considered as a sudden moving of this border toward

Dust Echoes from Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) such as AT2018cow form a rare class of engine-powered explosions of uncertain origin. A hallmark feature of these events is radio/millimeter synchrotron emission powered by the interaction of fast ≳0.1 c ...

Microlensing of circumstellar envelopes: II. emission lines from radial and azimuthal flow during fold caustic crossings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This paper examines the line profile evolution due to bulk motion in circumstellar envelopes during microlensing fold caustic crossing events. These events have recently been shown to be a sensitive probe of stellar surface brightness profiles, thus ...

Microlensing of circumstellar envelopes III. Line profiles from stellar winds in homologous expansion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper examines line profile evolution due to the linear expansion of circumstellar material obsverved during a microlensing event. This work extends our previous papers on emission line profile evolution from radial and azimuthal flow during point ...

Sudden Extreme Obscuration of a Sun-like Main-sequence Star: Evolution of the Circumstellar Dust around ASASSN-21qj

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
ASASSN-21qj is a distant Sun-like star that recently began an episode of deep dimming events after no prior recorded variability. Here we examine archival and newly obtained optical and near-infrared data of this star.

Molecular catastrophes and the formation of circumstellar dust [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
Radiative instabilities due to simple molecules may convert chromospheric material into masering molecules and dust capable of being removed from the star by radiation pressure.
