Description
The spectrum corresponding to the emission of radiation from a dust distribution dominated by the dynamical action of the Poynting Robertson Effect is discussed and a model is applied to the dust surrounding Vega. It is found that a dust cloud extending from 41 to 177 AU match the 25, 60 and 100 micron measurements from IRAS. The 193 micron data point from NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory does not fit in the model.

    Age of Massive Galaxies at Redshift 8
    Recent James Webb Space Telescope data analyses have shown that massive red galaxies existed at redshifts z ≳ 6, a discovery that is difficult to understand in the context of standard cosmology (ΛCDM). Here, we analyze these observations more deeply, by fitting a stellar population model to the optical and near-infrared photometric data. These fits

    Expanded Sample of Small Magellanic Cloud Ultraviolet Dust Extinction Curves: Correlations between the 2175 Å Bump, q <SUB>PAH</SUB>, Ultraviolet Extinction Shape, and N(H I)/A(V)
    The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) shows a large variation in ultraviolet (UV) dust extinction curves, ranging from Milky Way (MW) like to significantly steeper curves with no detectable 2175 Å bump. This result is based on a sample of only nine sight lines. From Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and IUE spectra of OB stars

    Gaia22dkvLb: A Microlensing Planet Potentially Accessible to Radial-velocity Characterization
    We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a disk source rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary analysis yields a Jovian planet with at a projected orbital separation au, and the host is a ∼1.1 M ⊙ turnoff star at ∼1.3 kpc. At , the host is far
