Confirmation of a gapped primordial disk around LkCa 15 [PDF]
Recently, analysis of near-infrared broad-band photometry and Spitzer IRS spectra has led to the identification of a new "pre-transitional disk" class whose members have an inner optically thick disk separated from an outer optically thick disk by an optically thin gap.

Unveiling the Structure of Pre-Transitional Disks [PDF]
In the past few years, several disks with inner holes that are empty of small dust grains have been detected and are known as transitional disks. Recently, Spitzer has identified a new class of "pre-transitional disks" with gaps; these objects have an optically thick inner disk separated from an optically thick outer disk by an optically thin disk gap.

The 2-D structure of dusty disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars, I. Models with grey opacities [PDF]
In this paper the two-dimensional structure of protoplanetary disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars is studied. This is done by constructing a self-consistent model based on 2-D radiative transfer coupled to the equation of vertical hydrostatics. As a simplifying assumption a grey opacity is used. It is found that the disk can adopt four different structures,

Herschel evidence for disk flattening or gas depletion in transitional disks [PDF]
Transitional disks are protoplanetary disks characterized by reduced near- and mid-infrared emission with respect to full disks. This characteristic spectral energy distribution indicates the presence of an optically thin inner cavity within the dust disk believed to mark the disappearance of the primordial massive disk.

Actuation of Micro-Optomechanical Systems Via Cavity-Enhanced Optical Dipole Forces [PDF]
We demonstrate a new type of optomechanical system employing a movable, micron-scale waveguide evanescently-coupled to a high-Q optical microresonator. Micron-scale displacements of the waveguide are observed for milliwatt(mW)-level optical input powers.

Imaging of the Lamina Cribrosa using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography. [PDF]
The lamina cribrosa (LC) is the presumed site of axonal injury in glaucoma. Its deformation has been suggested to contribute to optic neuropathy by impeding axoplasmic flow within the optic nerve fibers, leading to apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells. To

Introduction. Optic disk pit has been considered as coloboma located, as a rule, near temporal part of the optic disc. Central serous retinal detachment develops in 50 % of patients.
