Spectral Decomposition Reveals Surface Processes on Europa

Gideon Yoffe, Sahar Shahaf

Competing processes shape Europa's surface: geological activity replenishes material through resurfacing, while bombardment by charged particles alters surface chemical composition…

A Statistical Exploration of Text Partition Into Constituents: The Case of the Priestly Source in the Books of Genesis and Exodus

Gideon Yoffe, Axel Bühler, Nachum Dershowitz +4

We present a pipeline for a statistical textual exploration, offering a stylometry-based explanation and statistical validation of a hypothesized partition of a text. Given a param…

Spatially resolving polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Herbig Ae disks with VISIR-NEAR at the VLT

Gideon Yoffe, Roy van Boekel, Aigen Li +15

We use the long-slit spectroscopy mode of the VISIR-NEAR experiment to perform diffraction-limited observations of eight nearby Herbig Ae protoplanetary disks. We extract spectra f…

Locating dust and molecules in the inner circumstellar environment of R~Sculptoris with MATISSE

Julien Drevon, Florentin Millour, Pierre Cruzalèbes +49

AGB stars are one of the main sources of dust production in the Galaxy. However, it is not clear what this process looks like and where the dust is condensing in the circumstellar…

Thermal imaging of dust hiding the black hole in the Active Galaxy NGC 1068

Violeta Gamez Rosas, Jacob W. Isbell, Walter Jaffe +49

In the widely accepted 'Unified Model' solution of the classification puzzle of Active Galactic Nuclei, the orientation of a dusty accretion torus around the central black hole dom…

VLTI-MATISSE L- and N-band aperture-synthesis imaging of the unclassified B[e] star FS Canis Majoris

K. -H. Hofmann, A. Bensberg, D. Schertl +58

Context: FS Canis Majoris (FS CMa, HD 45677) is an unclassified B[e] star surrounded by an inclined dust disk. The evolutionary stage of FS CMa is still debated. Perpendicular to t…

First MATISSE L-band observations of HD 179218. Is the inner 10 au region rich in carbon dust particles?

E. Kokoulina, A. Matter, B. Lopez +58

Carbon is one of the most abundant components in the Universe. While silicates have been the main focus of solid phase studies in protoplanetary discs (PPDs), little is known about…

Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE

V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149

The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…

The asymmetric inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 in the eyes of VLTI/MATISSE: evidence for a vortex?

J. Varga, M. Hogerheijde, R. van Boekel +133

Context. The inner few au region of planet-forming disks is a complex environment. High angular resolution observations have a key role in understanding the disk structure and the…

A Simplified Photodynamical Model for Planetary Mass Determination in Low-Eccentricity Multi-Transiting Systems

Gideon Yoffe, Aviv Ofir, Oded Aharonson

Inferring planetary parameters from transit timing variations is challenging for small exoplanets because their transits may be so weak that determination of individual transit tim…
