NIKA2 observations around LBV stars Emission from stars and circumstellar material [PDF]
Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) stars are evolved massive objects, previous to core-collapse supernova. LBVs are characterized by photometric and spectroscopic variability, produced by strong and dense winds, mass-loss events and very intense UV radiation ...

Gas infall and possible circumstellar rotation in R Leonis [PDF]
We present new interferometer molecular observations of R Leo taken at 1.2 mm with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array with an angular resolution up to ≃0.″026. These observations permitted us to resolve the innermost envelope of this star, which revealed a complex structure that involves extended continuum emission and molecular emission showing a non ...

Takeout and Delivery: Erasing the Dusty Signature of Late-stage Terrestrial Planet Formation
The formation of planets like Earth is expected to conclude with a series of late-stage giant impacts that generate warm dusty debris, the most anticipated visible signpost of terrestrial planet formation in progress.

Spectroscopic Evolution of Disintegrating Planetesimals: Minute to Month Variability in the Circumstellar Gas Associated with WD 1145+017 [PDF]
With the recent discovery of transiting planetary material around WD 1145+017, a critical target has been identified that links the evolution of planetary systems with debris disks and their accretion onto the star.

Seven white dwarfs with circumstellar gas discs II: Tracing the composition of exoplanetary building blocks [PDF]
This second paper presents an in-depth analysis of the composition of the planetary material that has been accreted onto seven white dwarfs with circumstellar dust and gas emission discs with abundances reported in Paper I.

Atomic Gas in Debris Discs [PDF]
We have conducted a search for optical circumstellar absorption lines in the spectra of 16 debris disc host stars. None of the stars in our sample showed signs of emission line activity in either H$_{\alpha}$, Ca II or Na I, confirming their more evolved

Detailed modelling of the circumstellar molecular line emission of the S-type AGB star W Aquilae [PDF]
S-type AGB stars have a C/O ratio which suggests that they are transition objects between oxygen-rich M-type stars and carbon-rich C-type stars. As such, their circumstellar compositions of gas and dust are thought to be sensitive to their precise C/O ...

Dust Rings in the Circumstellar Gas Disks [PDF]
In optically thin gas disks around young Vega-type stars, dust grains are exposed to the stellar radiation pressure and gas drag force. The combination of these forces pushes the grains away from the central star. Typically, 10–100 μm grains migrate outward to become concentrated at the outer edge of the gas disk.
