Cool outflows in galaxies and their implications
Neutral-atomic and molecular outflows are a common occurrence in galaxies, near and far.
They operate over the full extent of their galaxy hosts, from the innermost regions of galactic …

Investigating the visible phase-curve variability of 55 Cnc e
Context. 55 Cnc e is an ultra-short period super-Earth transiting a Sun-like star. Previous
observations in the optical range detected a time-variable flux modulation that is phased …

Pollution of single white dwarfs by accretion of many small asteroids
M Jura - The Astronomical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Extrapolating from the solar system's asteroid belt, we propose that externally contaminated
white dwarfs without an infrared excess may be experiencing continuous accretion of gas …

Evolution of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars–II. Dust production at varying metallicity
We present the dust ejecta of the new stellar models for the thermally pulsing asymptotic
giant branch (TP-AGB) phase computed with the colibri code. We use a formalism of dust …
