VB 10 is the smallest star known to harbor a planet according to the recent astrometric study of Pravdo & Shaklan [1]. Here we present near-infrared (J-band)...
Radial Velocity Studies and their Limits: A Case Study of BP Psc
Radial velocity studies have provided the majority of all exoplanet discoveries. Using the radial velocity techniques on young stars suffers from problems with...
Radiation forces and the formation of planetary systems
The effect of the rotation and finite size of a stellar radiation source on dust particle orbits is examined. It is found that, for dust particles substantially...
This paper presents a brief overview of some recent advances in numerical radiative transfer, which may help the molecular astrophysics community to achieve new...
Molecular lines are generally very good tracers of the physical conditions in cold regions of the Universe (e.g. molecular clouds, cool stars, etc.), but...
The highly convergent iterative methods developed by Trujillo Bueno and Fabiani Bendicho (1995) for radiative transfer (RT) applications are generalized to...
