Five steps in the evolution from protoplanetary to debris disk

Mark C. Wyatt, Olja Panic, Grant M. Kennedy +1

The protoplanetary disks of Herbig Ae stars eventually dissipate leaving a tenuous debris disk comprised of planetesimals and dust, as well as possibly gas and planets. This paper…

Blazhko-type modulation in the double-mode RR Lyrae stars of the OGLE Galactic bulge collection

R. Smolec, I. Soszyński, A. Udalski +10

We present the analysis of Blazhko-type modulation in double-mode RR Lyrae (RRd) stars found in the OGLE photometry of the Galactic bulge. Modulation is detected in 15 stars. Most…
