  • Chemical Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks-The Effects of Viscous Accretion, Turbulent Mixing and Disk Winds
    Draft version June 5, 2018 Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 11/10/09 CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF PROTOPLANETARY DISKS – THE EFFECTS OF VISCOUS ACCRETION, TURBULENT MIXING AND DISK WINDS D. Heinzeller1 and H. Nomura Department of Astronomy, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan and C. Walsh and T. J. Millar Astrophysics Research Centre, School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast, BT7 1NN, UK Draft version June 5, 2018 ABSTRACT We calculate the chemical evolution of protoplanetary disks considering radial viscous accretion, vertical turbulent mixing and vertical disk winds. We study the effects on the disk chemical structure when different models for the formation of molecular hydrogen on dust grains are adopted. Our gas- phase chemistry is extracted from the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (Rate06) to which we have added detailed gas-grain interactions. We use our chemical model results to generate synthetic near- and mid-infrared LTE line emission spectra and compare these with recent Spitzer observations. Our results show that if H2 formation on warm grains is taken into consideration, the H2O and OH abundances in the disk surface increase significantly. We find the radial accretion flow strongly influences the molecular abundances, with those in the cold midplane layers particularly affected. On the other hand, we show that diffusive turbulent mixing affects the disk chemistry in the warm molecular layers, influencing the line emission from the disk and subsequently improving agreement with observations. We find that NH3, CH3OH, C2H2 and sulphur-containing species are greatly enhanced by the inclusion of turbulent mixing.

  • The Puzzling Nature of Dwarf-Sized Gas Poor Disk Galaxies
    Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics Combined Faculties of the Astronomy Division Natural Sciences and Mathematics University of Oulu Ruperto-Carola-University Oulu, Finland Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Put forward by Joachim Janz born in: Heidelberg, Germany Public defense: January 25, 2013 in Oulu, Finland THE PUZZLING NATURE OF DWARF-SIZED GAS POOR DISK GALAXIES Preliminary examiners: Pekka Heinämäki Helmut Jerjen Opponent: Laura Ferrarese Joachim Janz: The puzzling nature of dwarf-sized gas poor disk galaxies, c 2012 advisors: Dr. Eija Laurikainen Dr. Thorsten Lisker Prof. Heikki Salo Oulu, 2012 ABSTRACT Early-type dwarf galaxies were originally described as elliptical feature-less galax- ies. However, later disk signatures were revealed in some of them. In fact, it is still disputed whether they follow photometric scaling relations similar to giant elliptical galaxies or whether they are rather formed in transformations of late- type galaxies induced by the galaxy cluster environment. The early-type dwarf galaxies are the most abundant galaxy type in clusters, and their low-mass make them susceptible to processes that let galaxies evolve. Therefore, they are well- suited as probes of galaxy evolution. In this thesis we explore possible relationships and evolutionary links of early- type dwarfs to other galaxy types. We observed a sample of 121 galaxies and obtained deep near-infrared images. For analyzing the morphology of these galaxies, we apply two-dimensional multicomponent fitting to the data. This is done for the first time for a large sample of early-type dwarfs. A large fraction of the galaxies is shown to have complex multicomponent structures.

Called “Cool Stars, Stellar Systems, and the Sun,” the meeting empha- sized the solar stellar connection and focused discussion on “several topics … in which the similarity is manifest: the structures of chromospheres and coronae, stellar activity, and the phenomena of mass loss,” according to the preface of the resulting, “Special Report of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.” We could easily have chosen the same topics for this meeting. Over the summer of 1980, the group met again in Bonas, France and then back in Cambridge in 1981. Nearly 40 years on, I am comfortable saying these workshops have evolved to be the premier conference series for cool star research. Cool Stars has been held largely biennially, alternating between North America and Europe. Over that time, the field of stellar astro- physics has been upended several times, first by results from Hubble, then ROSAT, then Keck and other large aperture ground-based adaptive optics telescopes.

  • Observations from Orbiting Platforms 219
    Dotto et al.: Observations from Orbiting Platforms 219 Observations from Orbiting Platforms E. Dotto Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino M. A. Barucci Observatoire de Paris T. G. Müller Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik and ISO Data Centre A. D. Storrs Towson University P. Tanga Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino and Observatoire de Nice Orbiting platforms provide the opportunity to observe asteroids without limitation by Earth’s atmosphere. Several Earth-orbiting observatories have been successfully operated in the last decade, obtaining unique results on asteroid physical properties. These include the high-resolu- tion mapping of the surface of 4 Vesta and the first spectra of asteroids in the far-infrared wave- length range. In the near future other space platforms and orbiting observatories are planned. Some of them are particularly promising for asteroid science and should considerably improve our knowledge of the dynamical and physical properties of asteroids. 1. INTRODUCTION 1800 asteroids. The results have been widely presented and discussed in the IRAS Minor Planet Survey (Tedesco et al., In the last few decades the use of space platforms has 1992) and the Supplemental IRAS Minor Planet Survey opened up new frontiers in the study of physical properties (Tedesco et al., 2002). This survey has been very important of asteroids by overcoming the limits imposed by Earth’s in the new assessment of the asteroid population: The aster- atmosphere and taking advantage of the use of new tech- oid taxonomy by Barucci et al. (1987), its recent extension nologies. (Fulchignoni et al., 2000), and an extended study of the size Earth-orbiting satellites have the advantage of observing distribution of main-belt asteroids (Cellino et al., 1991) are out of the terrestrial atmosphere; this allows them to be in just a few examples of the impact factor of this survey.

  • The Minor Planet Bulletin 44 (2017) 142
    THE MINOR PLANET BULLETIN OF THE MINOR PLANETS SECTION OF THE BULLETIN ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR AND PLANETARY OBSERVERS VOLUME 44, NUMBER 2, A.D. 2017 APRIL-JUNE 87. 319 LEONA AND 341 CALIFORNIA – Lightcurves from all sessions are then composited with no TWO VERY SLOWLY ROTATING ASTEROIDS adjustment of instrumental magnitudes. A search should be made for possible tumbling behavior. This is revealed whenever Frederick Pilcher successive rotational cycles show significant variation, and Organ Mesa Observatory (G50) quantified with simultaneous 2 period software. In addition, it is 4438 Organ Mesa Loop useful to obtain a small number of all-night sessions for each Las Cruces, NM 88011 USA object near opposition to look for possible small amplitude short [email protected] period variations. Lorenzo Franco Observations to obtain the data used in this paper were made at the Balzaretto Observatory (A81) Organ Mesa Observatory with a 0.35-meter Meade LX200 GPS Rome, ITALY Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) and SBIG STL-1001E CCD. Exposures were 60 seconds, unguided, with a clear filter. All Petr Pravec measurements were calibrated from CMC15 r’ values to Cousins Astronomical Institute R magnitudes for solar colored field stars. Photometric Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic measurement is with MPO Canopus software. To reduce the Fricova 1, CZ-25165 number of points on the lightcurves and make them easier to read, Ondrejov, CZECH REPUBLIC data points on all lightcurves constructed with MPO Canopus software have been binned in sets of 3 with a maximum time (Received: 2016 Dec 20) difference of 5 minutes between points in each bin.
