Discovery of a Shell of Neutral Atomic Hydrogen Surrounding the Carbon Star IRC+10216

open access: yes, 2015
We have used the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope to perform the most sensitive search to date for neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) in the circumstellar envelope (CSE) of the carbon star IRC+10216.

Dust rings and filaments around the isolated young star V1331 Cygni [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We characterize the small and large scale environment of the young star V1331 Cygni with high resolution HST/WFPC2 and Digitized Sky Survey images. In addition to a previously known outer dust ring (~30'' in diameter), the HST/WFPC2 scattered light image

Commentary on the role of polyoxometalates in nature cybernetic loop

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 2-3, June-July 2024.
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are both synthetic and naturally occurring coordination compounds. In the biosphere, POMs can participate in many different life‐determining geochemical and biological processes. Future interdisciplinary research on POMs may reveal their potential for prebiotic and abiotic chemistry, as well as for the development of artificial ...

High-resolution Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the B[e] Supergiant LHA 115-S 18: Discovery of Hot Water Vapor Emission

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The post-main-sequence evolution of massive stars involves phases of intense, often eruptive mass loss, including the B[e] supergiant phase. These hot stars are surrounded by cool, dense circumstellar disks that host complex chemistry, producing both ...

The Enigmatic, Highly Variable, High-Mass Young Stellar Object Mol 12: A New Extreme Herbig Be (Proto)star

open access: yesGalaxies
We report new medium-resolution spectroscopy covering the wavelength range from 0.6 to 2.4 μm, as well as multi-epoch, multi-wavelength photometry, of the Class I high-mass embedded young stellar object Mol 12 (IRAS 05373+2349). It is embedded (AV≃12) in

The deep eclipses of RW Aur revisited by long‐term photometric and spectroscopic monitoring

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract RW Aurigae is a young stellar system containing a classical T Tauri star as the primary component. It shows deep, irregular dimmings, first detected in 2010. At the University Observatory Jena, we carried out optical follow‐up observations. We performed multiband (BVRI) photometry of the system with the Cassegrain‐Teleskop‐Kamera II and the ...

Limitations of the modified blackbody fit method for determining molecular cloud properties

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 4, May 2024.
Abstract Achieving a comprehensive understanding of the star and planet formation process is one of the fundamental tasks of astrophysics, requiring detailed knowledge of the physical conditions during the different phases of this process. During the earliest stages, that is, concerning physical processes in molecular clouds and filaments, the column ...

Gas-phase Molecules in Protoplanetary Nebulae with the 21 μm Emission Feature. II. Carbon Monosulfide

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The carrier of the 21 μ m emission feature discovered in a handful of protoplanetary nebulae (PPNe) is one of the most intriguing enigmas in circumstellar chemistry.

Magnetically controlled circumstellar matter in the helium-strong stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1990
This paper reports the observation and interpretation of the ultraviolet spectrum variations of nine helium-strong stars: HD 36485, 37017, 37479, 37776, 58260, 60344, 64740, 96446, and 133518. A unified model is developed to account for the observed correlation among three stellar properties: the line profile characteristics of the C IV and Si IV ...

Evidence for Terrestrial Planetary System Remnants at White Dwarfs

open access: yes, 2011
The last several years have brought about a dynamic shift in the view of exoplanetary systems in the post-main sequence, perhaps epitomized by the evidence for surviving rocky planetary bodies at white dwarfs.
