Interferometric Upper Limits on Millimeter Polarization of the Disks around DG Tau, GM Aur, and MWC 480

open access: yes, 2013
Millimeter-wavelength polarization measurements offer a promising method for probing the geometry of magnetic fields in circumstellar disks. Single dish observations and theoretical work have hinted that magnetic field geometries might be predominantly ...

Grain growth in newly discovered young eruptive stars

open access: yes, 2020
FU Orionis-type stars are young stellar objects showing large outbursts due to highly enhanced accretion from the circumstellar disk onto the protostar.

The Spheroidal Analog Method for Modeling Irregular Porous Aggregates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
It is shown that the optical properties of an irregular porous grain with effective radius a _eff  ≲ 3 λ (where λ is the wavelength) can be well approximated by a “spheroidal analog”: a spheroid with appropriate axial ratio and size, with a dielectric ...

Submillimeter-wavelength Polarimetry of IRC+10216

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present SCUBA-2/POL-2 850 μ m polarimetric observations of the circumstellar envelope (CSE) of the carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216.

The First Detailed Look at a Brown Dwarf Disk

open access: yes, 2003
The combination of mid-infrared and recent submm/mm measurements allows us to set up the first comprehensive spectral energy distribution (SED) of the circumstellar material around a young Brown Dwarf.

The Disks In Scorpius–Centaurus Survey (DISCS). I. Four Newly Resolved Debris Disks in Polarized Intensity Light

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The presence of infrared excesses around stars directly correlates with spatially resolved imaging detections of circumstellar disks at both millimeter and optical/near-infrared wavelengths.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon spectral diversity in NGC 7027 and the evolution of aromatic carriers

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a significant fraction of the Universe’s carbon budget, playing a key role in the cosmic carbon cycle and dominating the mid-infrared spectra of astrophysical environments in which they reside ...

Detailed Radial Scale Height Profile of Dust Grains as Probed by Dust Self-scattering in HL Tau

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The vertical settling of dust grains in a circumstellar disk, characterized by their scale height, is a pivotal process in the formation of planets. This study offers in-depth analysis and modeling of the radial scale height profile of dust grains in the

Discovery of stars surrounded by iron dust in the LMC

open access: yes, 2019
We consider a small sample of oxygen-rich, asymptotic giant branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope, exhibiting a peculiar spectral energy distribution, which can be hardly explained by the common assumption ...
