Multi-polar Structures in Young Planetary and Protoplanetary Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003
The imaging of young planetary and proto-planetary nebulae (PNe and PPNe) with unprecedented high angular resolution and dynamic range, using the Hubble Space Telescope, has led to the realisation that almost all of these objects are highly aspherical, with complex multipolar morphologies.

High-resolution Pan-STARRS and SMA Observations of IRAS 23077+6707: A Giant Edge-on Protoplanetary Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present resolved images of IRAS 23077+6707 (“Dracula’s Chivito”) in 1.3 mm/225 GHz thermal dust and CO gas emission with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and optical (0.5–0.8 μ m) scattered light with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response ...

Water Ice in the Edge-on Orion Silhouette Disk 114–426 from JWST NIRCam Images

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We examine images of the protoplanetary disk 114–426 with JWST/NIRCam in 12 bands. This large disk is oriented edge on with a dark midplane flanked by lobes of scattered light.

Large Fluctuations within 1 au in Protoplanetary Disks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Protoplanetary disks are often assumed to change slowly and smoothly during planet formation. Here, we investigate the time evolution of isolated disks subject to viscosity and a disk wind. The viscosity is assumed to increase rapidly at around 900 K due

Polarization due to dust scattering in the planetary nebula Cn1-1 [PDF]

open access: yes
The peculiar emission-line object Cn1-1 (=HDE330036=PK330+4 degrees 1), classified both as a symbiotic star and as a planetary nebula, was detected by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) as a strong source of far-infrared dust in the system. Bhatt

Insights on the Formation Conditions of Uranus and Neptune from Their Deep Elemental Compositions

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
This study, placed in the context of the preparation for the Uranus Orbiter Probe mission, aims to predict the bulk volatile compositions of Uranus and Neptune.

A Simplified Model for an Evolving Protoplanetary Nebula

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2003
The dynamical evolution of the protoplanetary nebula is investigated using analytical solutions of the surface density transport equations. Constant and beta viscosity turbulence models are compared with a functional analytical model and the well-known alpha viscosity formulation.
