Variability in Protoplanetary Nebulae. IX. Evidence for Evolution in a Decade

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract We have carried out a new photometric V,R C study of 12 protoplanetary nebulae, objects in the short-lived transition between the asymptotic giant branch and planetary nebula phases of stellar evolution.

JWST Imaging of Edge-on Protoplanetary Disks. II. Appearance of Edge-on Disks with a Tilted Inner Region: Case Study of IRAS04302+2247

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present James Webb Space Telescope imaging from 2 to 21 μ m of the edge-on protoplanetary disk around the embedded young star IRAS04302+2247. The structure of the source shows two reflection nebulae separated by a dark lane.

Mid‐infrared detection and characterization of refractory inclusions in CM and CO chondrites: A non‐destructive approach for returned space samples

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 544-569, March 2025.
Abstract Refractory inclusions (RIs) in chondrites are widely used as tracers of early solar system formation conditions. In the context of sample‐return missions, a non‐destructive and non‐invasive analytical tool that can rapidly detect and characterize RIs in space samples during their early phase of study is highly needed.

Oued Chebeika 002: A new CI1 meteorite linked to outer solar system bodies

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1441-1479, July 2025.
Abstract CI1 chondrites are rare meteorites with high scientific value. In fact, they are the most chemically primitive meteorites and show evidence of intense parent‐body aqueous alteration. They also share strong similarities with samples from Ryugu and Bennu asteroids returned by the JAXA Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions.

Petrofabrics in the CM chondrite Kolang: Evidence for non‐spherical chondrules in the protoplanetary disk

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 190-205, February 2025.
Abstract The alignment of non‐spherical “flattened” chondrules into a petrofabric is a common feature of hydrated carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. This texture can form as a result of impacts at peak shock pressures exceeding 10 GPa. However, many carbonaceous chondrites with petrofabrics are unshocked.

Chondrule Survivability in the Solar Nebula

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The lifetime of millimeter-sized dust grains, such as chondrules, in the nominal solar nebula model is limited to ∼10 ^5 yr, due to an inward drift driven by gas drag.

Search for pre‐accretionary irradiation effects in calcium‐aluminum inclusions from the CV3 chondrite Allende

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 247-272, February 2025.
Abstract Calcium‐aluminum‐rich inclusions (CAIs) are the first objects that formed in the solar accretion disk and therefore provide valuable insights into the evolution of the early solar system. A long‐standing question regarding this earliest formative period relates to the storage of CAIs in the 1–4 Myr time period between their formation and later

Zirconium isotope composition indicates s‐process depletion in samples returned from asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 3-16, January 2025.
Abstract Nucleosynthetic isotope variations are powerful tracers to determine genetic relationships between meteorites and planetary bodies. They can help to link material collected by space missions to known meteorite groups. The Hayabusa 2 mission returned samples from the Cb‐type asteroid (162173) Ryugu.

Clumpy Flows in Protoplanetary and Planetary Nebulae

open access: yes, 2003
Many astrophysical flows occur in inhomogeneous media. We briefly discuss some general properties of the adiabatic and radiative inhomogeneous systems and discuss the relevance of those properties to the planetary nebulae systems. We then focus on radiative hypersonic bullets and the applicability of this model to planetary and protoplanetary systems ...

Chemistry in Externally FUV-irradiated Disks in the Outskirts of the Orion Nebula Cluster

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Most stars are born in stellar clusters, and their protoplanetary disks, which are the birthplaces of planets, can, therefore, be affected by the radiation of nearby massive stars.
