A STUDY OF MASS LOSS AND DUST FORMATION NEAR HOT STARS
At present dust formation is well studied only near cool stars, whose surface temperatures are close to those of dust sublimation. Hot stars need to supply large amounts of circumstellar material to allow dust formation around them.

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long‐term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring
Abstract RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow‐up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain‐Teleskop‐Kamera II and the ...

Characterizing circumstellar disk around young stars [PDF]
The circumstellar disks play a fundamental role in star and planet formation process. Studies on circumstellar disks are generally carried on following two viable approaches: "statistical" studies, where a large samples of sources are measured to ...

Equatorial Enhancement in the Dustiest OH/IR Stars in the Galactic Bulge
We have detected the 10 μ m silicate feature and the 11.3 μ m crystalline forsterite feature in absorption in 21 oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in the Galactic bulge.

Penetration of Interstellar Dust Aggregates Into Circumstellar Dust Disks [PDF]
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 ...

Limitations of the modified blackbody fit method for determining molecular cloud properties
Abstract Achieving a comprehensive understanding of the star and planet formation process is one of the fundamental tasks of astrophysics, requiring detailed knowledge of the physical conditions during the different phases of this process. During the earliest stages, that is, concerning physical processes in molecular clouds and filaments, the column ...

Dust-evacuated Zones near Massive Stars: Consequences of Dust Dynamics on Star-forming Regions
Stars form within dense cores composed of both gas and dust within molecular clouds. However, despite the crucial role that dust plays in the star formation process, its dynamics is frequently overlooked, with the common assumption being a constant ...

Evidence for Dust Grain Growth in Young Circumstellar Disks [PDF]
Hundreds of circumstellar disks in the Orion nebula are being rapidly destroyed by the intense ultraviolet radiation produced by nearby bright stars. These young, million-year-old disks may not survive long enough to form planetary systems. Nevertheless, the first stage of planet formation—the growth of dust grains into larger particles—may have begun ...

Isomerism of CH2SO: Accurate structural, energetic, and spectroscopic characterization
What is the next sulfur‐containing molecule that will be detected in space? Guided by the experimental data on the cis‐/trans‐HC(O)SH conformers, the structural and spectroscopic properties of cis‐/trans‐HC(S)OH have been accurately determined using state‐of‐the‐art quantum‐chemical approaches. Abstract A recent work [Ye et al. Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc.
