Aims: Our goal is to study the circumstellar environment associated with each component of the wide intermediate-mass pre-main sequence binary system PDS 144...
Resolving the Circumstellar Environment of the Galactic B[e] Supergiant Star MWC 137.II. Nebular Kinematics and Stellar Variability
The Galactic B[e] supergiant MWC 137 is surrounded by a large-scale optical nebula. To shed light on the physical conditions and kinematics of the nebula, we...
S266: a ring nebula around a Galactic B[e] supergiant?
A narrow-band Hα image and high-resolution spectroscopy have been obtained in order to investigate the nature of S266 and its central star MWC 137. The analysis...
WD 1145+017 is a unique white dwarf system that has a heavily polluted atmosphere, an infrared excess from a dust disk, numerous broad absorption lines from...
We present a compositional analysis of the 10 μm silicate spectra for brown dwarf disks in the Taurus and Upper Scorpius (UppSco) star-forming regions, using...
We present the first spectropolarimetric observations of the symbiotic nova HM Sge. We first note that marked spectral changes occurred: in the near IR the...
Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy of High-Mass Precursors of Planetary Nebulae
We present Spitzer IRS observations of a small sample of heavily obscured IRAS sources displaying both the infrared and OH maser emission characteristic of OH...
Structural and compositional properties of brown dwarf disks: the case of 2MASS J04442713+2512164
Aims: To improve our understanding of substellar formation, we have performed a compositional and structural study of a brown dwarf disk. Methods: We present...
