THE RELATIVE WAVELENGTH INDEPENDENCE OF IR LAGS IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE HOT DUST

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
We show that, contrary to simple predictions, most AGNs show at best only a small increase of lags in the J, H, K, and L bands with increasing wavelength.

CU Comae: a new field double-mode RR Lyrae, the most metal poor discovered to date [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We report the discovery of a new double-mode RR Lyrae variable (RRd) in the field of our Galaxy: CU Comae. CU Comae is the sixth such RRd identified to date and is the most metal-poor RRd ever detected.

Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Modeling of Ammonia in Comet C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy)

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Ammonia (NH _3 ), likely the most abundant nitrogen-bearing molecule in cometary ices followed by hydrogen cyanide, is believed to be stored in the nucleus predominantly as a parent ice.

The different origins of magnetic fields and activity in the Hertzsprung gap stars, OU Andromedae and 31 Comae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Context: When crossing the Hertzsprung gap, intermediate-mass stars develop a convective envelope. Fast rotators on the main sequence, or Ap star descendants, are expected to become magnetic active subgiants during this evolutionary phase.

MIR Spectra and Analysis of Jovian Trojan Asteroids

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Jovian Trojan asteroids make up a large group of primitive bodies that populate Jupiter's L4 and L5 Lagrange points. The Trojans’ dynamics and composition carry insight into the formation mechanisms that shaped our solar system. Mid-infrared (MIR; 5–35 μ

Gamma-Ray Observational Properties of TeV-Detected Blazars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The synergy between the Fermi-LAT and ground-based Cherenkov telescope arrays gives us the opportunity for the first time to characterize the high-energy emission from blazars over 5 decades in energy, from 100 MeV to 10 TeV.

Coma Abundances of Volatiles at Small Heliocentric Distances: Compositional Measurements of Long-period Comet C/2020 S3 (Erasmus)

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We report production rates of H _2 O and nine trace molecules (C _2 H _6 , CH _4 , H _2 CO, CH _3 OH, HCN, NH _3 , C _2 H _2 , OCS, and CO) in long-period comet C/2020 S3 (Erasmus) using the high-resolution, cross-dispersed infrared spectrograph (iSHELL)

Organic synthesis applied to space sciences

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
About 160 molecules have been detected in the interstellar medium, the comae and the atmospheres of planets. The presence of these compounds leads to imagine a chemistry of these media to explain the formation of these species and to predict the possible

Comet P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) and the Challenge of Detecting Low-activity Comets

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Jupiter-family comet (JFC) P/2021 HS (PANSTARRS) only exhibits a coma within a few weeks of its perihelion passage at 0.8 au, which is atypical for a comet.

Absorption Efficiencies of Forsterite. I: DDA Explorations in Grain Shape and Size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We compute the absorption efficiency (Qabs) of forsterite using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) in order to identify and describe what characteristics of crystal grain shape and size are important to the shape, peak location, and relative ...
