The Inner Regions of Protoplanetary Disks
- C. Dullemond, J. Monnier
- Physics
- 17 June 2010
To understand how planetary systems form in the dusty disks around premain-sequence stars, a detailed knowledge of the structure and evolution of these disks is required. Although this is reasonably… Expand
Optical interferometry in astronomy
- J. Monnier
- Physics
- 25 April 2003
Here I review the current state of the field of optical stellar interferometry, concentrating on ground-based work although a brief report of space interferometry missions is included. We pause both… Expand
Three-dimensional dust radiative-transfer models: the Pinwheel Nebula of WR 104
- T. Harries, J. Monnier, Neil H. Symington, R. Kurosawa
- Physics
- 27 January 2004
We present radiative-transfer modelling of the dusty spiral Pinwheel Nebula observed around the Wolf‐Rayet/OB-star binary WR 104. The models are based on the three-dimensional radiative-transfer code… Expand
A dusty torus around the luminous young star LkHα101
- P. Tuthill, J. Monnier, W. Danchi
- Physics
- Nature
- 14 February 2001
A star forms when a cloud of dust and gas collapses. It is generally believed that this collapse first produces a flattened rotating disk, through which matter is fed onto the embryonic star at the… Expand
The Prototype Colliding-Wind Pinwheel WR 104
- P. Tuthill, J. Monnier, N. Lawrance, W. Danchi, S. Owocki, K. Gayley
- Physics
- 13 December 2007
Results from the most extensive study of the time-evolving dust structure around the prototype pinwheel nebula WR 104 are presented. Encompassing 11 epochs in three near-infrared filter bandpasses, a… Expand
Precision Measurements of the Diameters of α Orionis and ο Ceti at 11 Microns
- J. Weiner, W. Danchi, +4 authors P. Tuthill
- Physics
- 1 December 2000
The angular diameters of α Orionis and o Ceti were measured at a wavelength of 11.15 μm using the two-telescope Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI). Based on fitting the visibility data to uniform… Expand
Near-Infrared Interferometric Images of the Hot Inner Disk surrounding the Massive Young Star MWC 349A
- W. Danchi, P. Tuthill, J. Monnier
- Physics
- 20 November 2001
We present images of the massive young star MWC 349A at 1.65, 2.16, and 2.27, and 3.08 μm, reconstructed from complex visibility data obtained with an aperture-masking interferometric technique on… Expand
Resolving Vega and the inclination controversy with CHARA/MIRC
- J. Monnier, X. Che, +24 authors U. O. S. Andrews
- Physics
- 26 November 2012
Optical and infrared interferometers definitively established that the photometric standard Vega (={alpha} Lyrae) is a rapidly rotating star viewed nearly pole-on. Recent independent spectroscopic… Expand
Mid-Infrared Interferometry on Spectral Lines. II. Continuum (Dust) Emission Around IRC +10216 and VY Canis Majoris
- J. Monnier, W. Danchi, +4 authors U. Berkeley
- Physics
- 26 July 2000
The University of California Berkeley Infrared Spatial Interferometer has measured the mid-infrared visibilities of the carbon star IRC +10216 and the red supergiant VY CMa. The dust shells around… Expand
First Surface-resolved Results with the Infrared Optical Telescope Array Imaging Interferometer: Detection of Asymmetries in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
- S. Ragland, W. Traub, +20 authors G. Wallace
- Physics
- 20 November 2006
We have measured nonzero closure phases for about 29% of our sample of 56 nearby asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, using the three-telescope Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) interferometer… Expand
