Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Context. The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) around Cepheids is a matter of ongoing debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be shown to either be made up of a shell of ionized gas, a dust envelope, or a combination of ...

Vertical Structure of Gas and Dust in Four Debris Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present high-spectral-resolution M -band spectra from iSHELL on NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility along the line of sight to the debris disk host star HD 32297. We also present a Gemini Planet Imager H -band polarimetric image of the HD 131488 debris

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 ...

DEATHSTAR—CO Envelope Size and Asymmetry of Nearby AGB Stars

open access: yesGalaxies, 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.

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—VI. The Lowest‐Mass Objects in M 4 and the Galactic Bulge

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.
ABSTRACT We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of M 4—the closest globular cluster—that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen‐burning limit. The unveiled stellar sequence reaches much fainter luminosities than previously possible, revealing a few extremely red objects that are consistent with brown dwarfs as cool as Teff∼1000K$

Detection of a Molecular Hydrogen Envelope around Nova GK Persei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The eruption of Nova Persei 1901 (GK Per) occurred 125 yr ago; remarkably, it still holds major surprises. Using data from the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx), we find that it has a ...

Circumstellar matter, with particular reference to jets and molecular flows [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
Circumstellar matter exists in many forms, such as winds from early and from late type stars, in infra-red sources and OH and H2O masers, in X-ray sources and jets, and molecular flows and Herbig-Haro objects. There is considerable diversity in the nature of the starlike bodies that underlie these phenomena.

Clusters Stagnating During Condensation: Metastable Material or a Separate State of Matter?

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 537, Issue 10, October 2025.
Condensation stagnation, that is, the existence of a delay between nucleation and growth during the gas‐phase particle formation, is a crucial phenomenon, which manifests itself as the presence of supercritical clusters in resulting particulates. The light emission signature of stagnant clusters is identified in the magnesium particle flame in air, and,

Recent Progress in Finding Binary Systems with the B[e] Phenomenon

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
This paper describes recent studies of the FS CMa-type objects, a group of stars showing the B[e] phenomenon defined in 2007. The objects exhibit strong emission-line spectra with both permitted and forbidden lines suggesting the presence of a B-type ...
