Subtle and Spectacular: Diverse White Dwarf Debris Disks Revealed by JWST
This Letter reports 12 novel spectroscopic detections of warm circumstellar dust orbiting polluted white dwarfs using the JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). The disks span 2 orders of magnitude in fractional infrared brightness and more than double the

Confined Circumstellar Material as a Dust Formation Site in Type II Supernovae
We propose a model for dust formation in Type II supernovae (SNe) interacting with confined circumstellar material (CSM), motivated by recent time-domain surveys that have revealed a substantial fraction of SN progenitors to be surrounded by CSM ejected ...

Calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in carbonaceous chondritic meteorites are the oldest relics in the solar system. Notably, their radiogenic ages indicate a brief (100 kyr) condensation episode.

Polarimetric Models of Circumstellar Discs Including Aggregate Dust Grains
The work conducted in this thesis examines the nature of circumstellar discs by investigating irradiance and polarization of scattered light. Two circumstellar discs are investigated. Firstly, H-band high contrast imaging data on the transitional disc of the Herbig Ae/Be star HD169142 are presented.

Observing dust grain growth andsedimentation in circumstellar discs [PDF]
In the present thesis, the observational effects of dust grain growth and sedimentation in circumstellar discs are investigated. The growth of dust grains from some nanometres in diameter as found in the inter- stellar medium towards planetesimal bodies some meters in diameter is an important step in the formation of planets.
