Using 3.4 μm Variability toward White Dwarfs as a Signpost of Remnant Planetary Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Roughly 2% of white dwarfs harbor planetary debris disks detectable via infrared excesses, but only a few percent of these disks show a gaseous component, distinguished by their double-peaked emission at the near-infrared calcium triplet.

Observations of circumstellar disks in scattered light with SPHERE at the VLT

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Physique, 2023
The technological developments initiated in the early 21$^{\rm st}$ century have led to the implementation of “planet finders” instruments on 8-m class telescopes which are in operation since 2014-2015. Such facilities are at the inception of significant

A Different Perspective on the Solid Lubrication Performance of Black Phosphorus: Friend or Foe?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Researchers investigate black phosphorus (BP) as a standalone solid lubricant coating through ball‐on‐disc linear‐reciprocating sliding experiments in dry conditions. Testing on different metals shows BP doesn't universally reduce friction and wear. However, it achieves 33% friction reduction on rougher iron surfaces and 23% wear reduction on aluminum.

Effect of Annealing Temperature on Microstructure and Dry‐Sliding Behavior of Powder Bed Fusion–Laser Beam Ti6Al2Sn4Zr6Mo Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Heat treatment parameters critically affect the wear resistance of powder bed fusion–laser beam (PBF‐LB)‐produced Ti–6Al–2Sn–4Zr–6Mo alloy. This study found that optimizing annealing temperature allows to obtain a tailored microstructure, which enhances the dry‐sliding behavior by forming a stable and functional mechanically mixed layer (MML), ensuring

Sequencing Silicates in the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph Debris Disk Catalog. I. Methodology for Unsupervised Clustering

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Debris disks, which consist of dust, planetesimals, planets, and gas, offer a unique window into the mineralogical composition of their parent bodies, especially during the critical phase of terrestrial planet formation spanning 10 yr to a few hundred ...

Hiding Dust around ϵ Eridani

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
With a Jupiter-like exoplanet and a debris disk with both asteroid and Kuiper Belt analogs, ϵ Eridani has a fascinating resemblance to our expectations for a young solar system.

The Incidence of Debris Disks at 24 {\mu}m and 670 Myr [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We use Spitzer Space Telescope 24 {\mu}m data to search for debris disks among 122 AFGKM stars from the \sim 670 Myr clusters Hyades, Coma Ber, and Praesepe, utilizing a number of advances in data reduction and determining the intrinsic colors of main ...

Calcium Imparts Advanced Functionalities to Silk Hydrogels for Biofabrication and Biomedical Innovation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The addition of calcium ions to silk fibroin enhances the hydrogel properties and, when combined with visible light crosslinking, enables compatibility with advanced light‐based fabrication techniques. Calcium ions extend the shelf‐life of silk and facilitate the fabrication of multizonal, multilayered constructs for advanced stimuli‐responsive ...

JWST/NIRCam Detection of the Fomalhaut C Debris Disk in Scattered Light

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Observations of debris disks offer important insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Though M dwarfs make up approximately 80% of nearby stars, very few M dwarf debris disks have been studied in detail—making it unclear how or if ...

What Sets the Radial Locations of Warm Debris Disks? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The architectures of debris disks encode the history of planet formation in these systems. Studies of debris disks via their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) have found infrared excesses arising from cold dust, warm dust, or a combination of the two.
