MgS grain component in circumstellar shells

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1985
In this letter, far-infrared spectrophotometry (30-55 microns) and photometry (53-200 microns) are presented which define, for the first time, the long wavelength limit of the previously unidentified 30 micron emission feature found in certain extreme carbon star spectra. The spectral similarities are sufficiently similar to those of solid MgS that MgS

The Circumstellar Disk of the Butterfly Star in Taurus

open access: yes, 2003
We present a model of the circumstellar environment of the so-called ``Butterfly Star'' in Taurus (IRAS 04302+2247). The appearance of this young stellar object is dominated by a large circumstellar disk seen edge-on and the light scattering lobes above ...

The New Class of Dusty DAZ White Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Our mid-infrared survey of 124 white dwarfs with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the IRAC imager has revealed an infrared excess associated with the white dwarf WD 2115-560 naturally explained by circumstellar dust.

Photoelectron Spectroscopy of the Phosphorus Monosulfide (PS) and Phosphorus Monoxide (PO) Radicals

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Sketch of the experiment to measure the photo electron spectrum of the PS radical produced in situ with a mixture of PH3, H2S and F atoms. PO and PS radicals are the smallest units of phosphorus oxides and phosphorus sulfides, respectively, two rich families of refractory compounds widely employed in industrial and technological applications. These two

The Presolar Grain Database. I. Silicon Carbide

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The Presolar Grain Database (PGD) contains the vast majority of isotope data (published and unpublished) on presolar grains and was first released as a collection of spreadsheets in 2009.

Dust Production around Carbon-Rich Stars: The Role of Metallicity

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Background: Most of the stars in the Universe will end their evolution by losing their envelope during the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase, enriching the interstellar medium of galaxies with heavy elements, partially condensed ...

The T Tauri star RY Tau as a case study of the inner regions of circumstellar dust disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the inner region of the circumstellar disk around the TTauri star RY Tau. Our aim is to find a physical description satisfying the available interferometric data, obtained with the mid-infrared interferometric instrument at the Very Large ...

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution

open access: yesAGU 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 ...

A Comprehensive Model of Morphologically Realistic Cosmic Dust Particles: An Application to Mimic the Unusual Polarization Properties of the Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The cosmic dust particles found in space are mainly porous aggregates of smaller grains. Theoretically, these aggregates are replicated using fractal geometry, assuming a cluster of spheres.

Circular polarization from scattering by circumstellar grains

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1980
It is suggested that observations of circular polarization can be a valuable tool for the study of circumstellar nebulae. A simple model is presented to predict the percentage of circular polarization produced by scattering from the dust contained within such nebulae; it was found that a significant component of circular polarization can be produced in
