Molecular catastrophes and the formation of circumstellar dust [PDF]
Symposium - 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.

The 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.

Dust in circumstellar disks [PDF]
, 2006 This thesis presents observational and theoretical studies of the size and spatial distribution of dust particles in circumstellar disks. Using millimetre interferometric observations of optically thick disks around T Tauri stars, I provide conclusive evidence for the presence of millimetre- to centimetre-sized dust aggregates.

The Astronomical JournalMany mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to massive-star mass loss, but in general little is known about the physics involved. Studies of circumstellar environments around massive stars might help to determine which mechanisms are the most common.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dust coagulation in protoplanetary disks is not straightforward and is subject to several slowdown mechanisms, such as bouncing, fragmentation, and radial drift to the star.

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

Circumstellar dust emission models
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 We present the wavelength-dependent absorption coefficient K(sub lambda) the scattering coefficient o(sub lambda), the albedo w(sub lambda), and the average cosine of the scattering phase function g(sub lambda) between 0.0912 micrometers and 1000 micrometers for four interstellar medium grain models.

Confined Chemistry in Space: Zeolite‐Supported Fe13 Nanoclusters Modulate CS Reactivity
Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.The study explores how an Fe13 cluster confined in chabazite reshapes the reaction of CS and H2 under astrochemical conditions. Confinement promotes C–S bond cleavage over hydrogenation, directing chemistry toward CH4 and H2S formation. Additional CS enables CS2 and C2 species. Microkinetic analysis identifies protoplanetary environments where zeolites

Near-infrared Integral-field Spectroscopy of the Wind Forming Region of CW Leo
The Astronomical JournalThe circumstellar envelope of the carbon star CW Leo exhibited various unexpected changes in recent optical imaging observations. We have performed a follow-up observation using the Near-infrared Integral-Field Spectrograph (NIFS) equipped on the Gemini ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...
