JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT We combine infrared (IR) observations collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with optical deep images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken ~20 years earlier to compute proper‐motion membership for the globular cluster (GC) M4 (NGC 6121) along its entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS).

The Presolar Grain Database. I. Silicon Carbide

The 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The Presolar Grain Database (PGD) contains the vast majority of isotope data (published and unpublished) on presolar grains and was first released as a collection of spreadsheets in 2009.

DEATHSTAR—CO Envelope Size and Asymmetry of Nearby AGB Stars

Galaxies, 2022
Low- and intermediate-mass stars evolve into asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars near the end of their lives, losing mass through slow and massive winds.

XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...

Recent and Future Studies of Circumstellar Matter – A Snapshot [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
At this meeting, powerful new images and spectroscopy of AGB stars were presented. Theoretical models have advanced, and we are learning more from studies of the pre-solar grains isolated from meteorites.We suggest that several mass loss mechanisms may be operating in AGB stars: current images imply both spherical winds and highly flattened outflows ...

Toward an efficient second‐order method for computing the surface gravitational potential on spherical‐polar meshes

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 8, October 2024.
Abstract Astrophysical accretion discs that carry a significant mass compared with their central object are subject to the effect of self‐gravity. In the context of circumstellar discs, this can, for instance, cause fragmentation of the disc gas, and—under suitable conditions—lead to the direct formation of gas‐giant planets.

The Near-infrared Echo from SN 2023xgo: Evidence for a Massive Presupernova Eruption in a Type Ibn/Icn Supernova

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present near-infrared (NIR) and optical observations and analysis of the Type Ibn/Icn supernova (SN) 2023xgo, spanning the period from 2 to 100 days past explosion.

Origin of Circumstellar Matter in the Spectroscopic Binary CX Dra [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2000
AbstractWe examine the periodic component in the polarization of CX Dra, a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 7 days. We find that this component originates in dense matter located in the direction preceding the secondary by about 4.5° from the primary-secondary direction. This dense scattering region is attributable to the region where the

First direct detection of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on asteroid (162173) Ryugu samples: An interstellar heritage

Natural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 4, October 2024.
Large free aromatic species, with up to 61 carbon atoms, were detected in grains of the Ryugu carbonaceous asteroid using ultra‐sensitive two‐step laser mass spectrometry. This discovery confirms the presence of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the interstellar medium and provides new information on the formation and evolution of organic ...

Correlated Molybdenum, Ruthenium, and Barium Isotope Anomalies in Presolar Silicon Carbide Grains

The Astrophysical Journal
We have analyzed molybdenum, ruthenium, and barium isotopes simultaneously in 55 individual presolar silicon carbide (SiC) grains from the Murchison CM2 meteorite using the Chicago Instrument for Laser Ionization (or CHILI).
