We present ALMA and VLA observations of the molecular and ionized gas at 0.1-0.3 arcsec resolution in the Class 0 protostellar system IRAS 16293-2422. These data clarify the origin…
Direct Imaging Discovery of a `Super-Jupiter' Around the late B-Type Star Kappa And
J. Carson, C. Thalmann, M. Janson +52
We present the direct imaging discovery of an extrasolar planet, or possible low-mass brown dwarf, at a projected separation of 55 +/- 2 AU (1.058 +/- 0.007 arcsec) from the B9-typ…
Subaru Imaging of Asymmetric Features in a Transitional Disk in Upper Scorpius
S. Mayama, J. Hashimoto, T. Muto +52
We report high-resolution (0.07 arcsec) near-infrared polarized intensity images of the circumstellar disk around the star 2MASS J16042165-2130284 obtained with HiCIAO mounted on t…
A New Method of Determining the Characteristics of Evolved Binary Systems Revealed in the Observed Circumstellar Patterns: Application to AFGL 3068
Hyosun Kim, Ronald E. Taam
The binary characteristics of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are imprinted in the asymmetric patterns of their circumstellar envelopes. We develop a simple method for constrai…
Substellar-Mass Condensations in Prestellar Cores
Fumitaka Nakamura, Shigehisa Takakuwa, Ryohei Kawabe
We present combined Submillimeter-Array (SMA) + single-dish images of the (sub)millimeter dust continuum emission toward two prestellar cores SM1 and B2-N5 in the nearest star clus…
RW Aur A from the X-Wind Point of View: General Features
Chun-Fan Liu, Hsien Shang
In this paper, the RW Aur A microjet is studied from the point of view of X-wind models. The archived HST/STIS spectra of optical forbidden lines [O I], [S II], and [N II] from RW…
Wide Binary Effects on Asymmetries in Asymptotic Giant Branch Circumstellar Envelopes
Hyosun Kim, Ronald E. Taam
Observations of increasingly higher spatial resolution reveal the existence of asymmetries in the circumstellar envelopes of a small fraction of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars…
On the metallicity dependence of crystalline silicates in oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch stars and red supergiants
O. C. Jones, F. Kemper, B. A. Sargent +10
We investigate the occurrence of crystalline silicates in oxygen-rich evolved stars across a range of metallicities and mass-loss rates. It has been suggested that the crystalline…
Polarimetric Imaging of Large Cavity Structures in the Pre-transitional Protoplanetary Disk around PDS 70: Observations of the disk
Jun Hashimoto, Ruobing Dong, Tomoyuki Kudo +52
We present high resolution H-band polarized intensity (PI; FWHM = 0."1: 14 AU) and L'-band imaging data (FWHM = 0."11: 15 AU) of the circumstellar disk around the weak-lined T Taur…
Kinematics of the CO Gas in the Inner Regions of the TW Hya Disk
Katherine A. Rosenfeld, Chunhua Qi, Sean M. Andrews +7
We present a detailed analysis of the spatially and spectrally resolved 12CO J=2-1 and J=3-2 emission lines from the TW Hya circumstellar disk, based on science verification data f…
Intermediate Resolution Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of 36 late-M Dwarfs
R. Deshpande, E. L. Martín, M. M. Montgomery +8
We present observations of 36 late-M dwarfs obtained with the KeckII/NIRSPEC in the J-band at a resolution of \sim20,000. We have measured projected rotational velocities, absolute…
CID: Chemistry In Disks VII. First detection of HC3N in protoplanetary disks
E. Chapillon, A. Dutrey, S. Guilloteau +8
Molecular line emission from protoplanetary disks is a powerful tool to constrain their physical and chemical structure. Nevertheless, only a few molecules have been detected in di…
A 1-mm spectral line survey toward GLIMPSE Extended Green Objects (EGOs)
J. H. He, S. Takahashi, X. Chen
A northern subsample of 89 Spitzer GLIMPSE extended green objects (EGOs), the candidate massive young stellar objects, are surveyed for molecular lines in two 1-GHz ranges: 251.5-…
Fragmentation and OB Star Formation in High-Mass Molecular Hub-Filament System
Hauyu Baobab Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Paul T. -P. Ho +3
Filamentary structures are ubiquitously seen in the interstellar medium. The concentrated molecular mass in the filaments allows fragmentation to occur in a shorter timescale than…

Ryoko Tanii, Yoichi Itoh, Tomoyuki Kudo +65
We present H-band polarimetric imagery of UX Tau A taken with HiCIAO/AO188 on the Subaru Telescope. UX Tau A has been classified as a pre-transitional disk object, with a gap struc…
Protostellar Accretion Flows Destabilized by Magnetic Flux Redistribution
Ruben Krasnopolsky, Zhi-Yun Li, Hsien Shang +1
Magnetic flux redistribution lies at the heart of the problem of star formation in dense cores of molecular clouds that are magnetized to a realistic level. If all of the magnetic…
