Astronomy & Astrophysics Circumstellar material in the Vega inner system revealed by CHARA / FLUOR
Context. Only a handful of debris disks have been imaged up to now. Due to the need for high dynamic range and high angular resolution, very little is known about the inner planetary region, where small amounts of warm dust are expected to be found. Aims. We investigate the close neighbourhood of Vega with the help of infrared stellar interferometry and estimate the integrated K-band flux origi...
متن کاملHot circumstellar material around Vega
Using the FLUOR beam-combiner at the CHARA Array, we have obtained highprecision visibility measurements of Vega, a prototypic debris-disk star. The combination of long and short baselines has allowed us to separately resolve the stellar photosphere and the close environment of the star (< 8 AU). Our observations show a significant deficit in square visibility at short baselines with respect to...
متن کاملCO in the circumstellar disks of Vega and β Pictoris
Vega and β Pictoris are the most prominent A stars surrounded by dust disks. However up to now CO radio observations have not revealed any gas in the circumstellar environment. We present thin hydrostatic equilibrium models for the disks around these stars using ATLAS9 photospheric models (Kurucz 1992) to determine the stellar UV flux and to derive the dust temperature from radiative equilibriu...
متن کاملInner solar system material discovered in the Oort cloud
We have observed C/2014 S3 (PANSTARRS), a recently discovered object on a cometary orbit coming from the Oort cloud that is physically similar to an inner main belt rocky S-type asteroid. Recent dynamical models successfully reproduce the key characteristics of our current solar system; some of these models require significant migration of the giant planets, whereas others do not. These models ...
متن کاملThe Compact Circumstellar Material around Oh 231.8ϩ4.2
We have observed the bipolar post–asymptotic giant branch candidate OH 231.8 4.2, using the mid-infrared interferometer MIDI and the infrared camera with the adaptive optics system NACO on the Very Large Telescope. An unresolved core (!200 mas in FWHM) is found at the center of OH 231.8 4.2 in the 3.8 mm image. This compact source is resolved with the interferometer. We used two 8 m telescopes ...
