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 ...

Extensive HST ultraviolet spectra and multiwavelength observations of SN 2014J in M82 indicate reddening and circumstellar scattering by typical dust [PDF]
, 2014 SN 2014J in M82 is the closest detected Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in at least 28 years and perhaps in 410 years. Despite its small distance of 3.3 Mpc, SN 2014J is surprisingly faint, peaking at V = 10.6 mag, and assuming a typical SN Ia luminosity, we ...

Clusters Stagnating During Condensation: Metastable Material or a Separate State of Matter?
Annalen der Physik, Volume 537, Issue 10, October 2025.Condensation stagnation, that is, the existence of a delay between nucleation and growth during the gas‐phase particle formation, is a crucial phenomenon, which manifests itself as the presence of supercritical clusters in resulting particulates. The light emission signature of stagnant clusters is identified in the magnesium particle flame in air, and,

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 ...

A dusty pinwheel nebula around the massive star WR 104 [PDF]
, 1999 Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are luminous massive blue stars thought to be immediate precursors to the supernova terminating their brief lives. The existence of dust shells around such stars has been enigmatic since their discovery some 30 years ago; the ...

L1448 IRS3B: Dust Polarization Aligned with Spiral Features, Tracing Gas Flows
The Astrophysical JournalCircumstellar disk dust polarization in the (sub)millimeter is, for the most part, not from dust grain alignment with magnetic fields but rather indicative of a combination of dust self-scattering with a yet unknown alignment mechanism that is consistent

An Infrared Study of the Circumstellar Material Associated with the Carbon Star R Sculptoris [PDF]
, 2017 The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star R Sculptoris (R Scl) is one of the most extensively studied stars on the AGB. R Scl is a carbon star with a massive circumstellar shell ($M_{shell}\sim 7.3\times10^{-3}~M_{\odot}$) which is thought to have been ...

Penetration of Interstellar Dust Aggregates Into Circumstellar Dust Disks [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 Interstellar dust particles, which are supposedly aggregates, penetrate dust disks around stars because of the star's motion relative to the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). We discuss the interrelation of the physical properties of local interstellar dust, the relative motion of the star and the surrounding ISM, and the evolution of the ...

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT We combine infrared (IR) observations collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with optical deep images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken ~20 years earlier to compute proper‐motion membership for the globular cluster (GC) M4 (NGC 6121) along its entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS).
