Sentences with phrase «debris disk studies»

Ongoing radio observations (SMA, JCMT, VLA) of Sirius A are being used to set an observationally determined standard for stellar atmosphere modeling and debris disk studies around A stars, as well as to take the first step toward characterizing potential intrinsic uncertainty in stellar emission at these wavelengths.

This talk will highlight the effort to characterize stellar atmospheres through a project known as MESAS (Measuring the Emission of Stellar Atmospheres at Submillimeter / millimeter wavelengths) which is imperative to the success of current and future debris disk studies.

Not exact matches

Astronomers didn't know how a debris disk changes as a parent star gets older because there weren't enough detailed studies of stars at various ages.

Scientists want to study the behaviors of exocomets, which represent the link between fully formed planets and the debris disks, but individual comets around alien suns are too dark and small to be observed directly.

Study of collisional processes there will have impact on the interpretation of the much more distant (but numerous) main - sequence debris disks, about which much less is known.

Researchers looked at 130 single - star systems that the Spitzer Space Telescope had determined to have debris disks around them and compared them to 277 stellar systems that appeared not to have debris disks, making this the largest study to observe stars with debris disks.

An interferometric study of the Fomalhaut inner debris disk.
