Some like it cold: molecular emission and effective dust temperatures of dense cores in the Pipe Nebula
(2014-08-08)
Aims. The Pipe Nebula is characterized by a low star-formation rate and is therefore an ideal environment to explore how initial conditions, including core characteristics, affect star-formation efficiencies. Methods. In ...
CSI 2264: Simultaneous optical and infrared light curves of young disk-bearing stars in NGC 2264 with CoRoT and Spitzer-- evidence for multiple origins of variability
(2014-03-13)
We present the Coordinated Synoptic Investigation of NGC 2264, a continuous 30-day multi-wavelength photometric monitoring campaign on more than 1000 young cluster members using 16 telescopes. The unprecedented combination ...
VVV High Proper Motion Survey
(2013-10-15)
Here we present survey of proper motion stars towards the Galactic Bulge and an adjacent plane region base on VISTA-VVV data. The searching method based on cross-matching photometric Ks-band CASU catalogs. The most interesting ...
Near-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of HD142527
(2013-08)
HD 142527 is a pre-transition disk with strong evidence for on-going planet formation. Recent observations show a disrupted disk with spiral arms, a dust-depleted inner cavity and the possible presence of gas streams driving ...
The protoplanetary disks in the nearby massive star forming region Cygnus OB2
(2013-08)
The formation of stars in massive clusters is one of the main modes of the star formation process. However, the study of massive star forming regions is hampered by their typically large distances to the Sun. One exception ...
The Properties of the 500 K Dwarf UGPS J072227.51-054031.2, and a Study of the Far-Red Flux of Cold Brown Dwarfs
(2012-04-01)
We present i and z photometry for 25 T dwarfs and one L dwarf. Combined with published photometry, the data show that the i - z, z - Y and z - J colors of T dwarfs are very red, and continue to increase through to the ...
Benchmark cool companions : Ages and abundances for the PZ Tel system
(2012-03)
We present new ages and abundance measurements for the pre-main sequence star PZ Tel. PZ Tel was recently found to host a young and low-mass companion. Using FEROS spectra we have measured atomic abundances (e.g. Fe and ...
Elemental and isotopic abundances and chemical evolution of galaxies
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012-02-15)
Elemental and isotopic abundances are the fossils of galactic archaeology. The observed [X/Fe]-[Fe/H] relations in the Galactic bulge and disk and the mass-metallicity relation of galaxies are roughly reproduced with ...
Discovery of the benchmark metal poor T8 dwarf BD+01 2920B
(2012)
We have searched the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer first data release for widely separated (<=10,000AU) late T dwarf companions to Hipparcos and Gliese stars. We have discovered a new binary system containing a K-band ...
A barium central star binary in the Type-I diamond ring planetary nebula Abell 70
(2012-01)
Abell 70 (PN G038.1-25.4, hereafter A 70) is a planetary nebula (PN) known for its diamond ring appearance due a superposition with a background galaxy. The previously unstudied central star is found to be a binary consisting ...
