The Role of Dust in Circumstellar Chemistry [PDF]
The outer envelopes of the outflows from late-type stars where the dust and molecules have already been formed and the matter has been accelerated to its terminal velocity are the focus of this review. One major role for grains in the circumstellar chemistry is the protection of molecules against photodissociation by ambient interstellar ultraviolet ...

Observational constraints on circumstellar dust
There is an enormous range in the properties of stars that are losing mass. The red giants responsible for injecting roughly half or more of the material into the interstellar medium are reviewed. The physical properties are described for the out flowing

Mineralogy of Circumstellar and Interstellar Dust: The SPICA Potential
The mid-infared spectral region contains many resonances of dust species that are of astrophysical interest. These resonances can be used to trace the dust cycle in galaxies, starting from the evolved low- and high mass stars, through the interstellar ...

This thesis deals with the analysis of “presolar” silicates and oxides by high resolution mass spectrometry and electron microscopy techniques. This “stardust” was identified by its extreme oxygen isotopic anomalies, which point to nucleosynthetic ...

Mineralogy of circumstellar dust
The composition and spatial distribution of circumstellar dust in young and old stars can be used as a probe of the physical and chemical processes that take place.

One possible explanation for the presence of very large grains (VLGs) larger than 10 μ m in the inner envelope of intermediate-mass Class 0/I young stellar objects is their migration from the protostellar disk via outflows. To assess whether RATD hinders

Disk evolution, element abundances and cloud properties of young gas giant planets [PDF]
ChHc and PBR highlights financial support of the European Community under the FP7 program by an ERC starting grant. PW, IK, and WFT acknowledge funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme FP7-2011 under grant agreement No.

The presence of dust in the general interstellar medium is inferred from the extinction, polarization, and scattering of starlight; the presence of dark nebulae; interstellar depletions; the observed infrared emission around certain stars and various ...

Polarization-mode observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are powerful tools for studying the dust grain populations in circumstellar disks.

THE SPECTROSCOPY OF THE PULSATING CARBON STAR R Lep
The first results of detailed spectroscopy are presented for carbon Mira R Leporis. This long-period variable is undergoing deep fadings, apparently caused by dust formation around the star.
