We present new 0.6 - 4 $\mu$m imaging of the SR 21 transition disk from Keck/NIRC2 and Magellan/MagAO. The protoplanetary disk around SR 21 has a large (~ 30 - 40 AU) clearing first inferred from its spectral energy distribution and later…

We report the detection of sub-mm emission from dust at 850 microns and of the 12CO J=4-3 line in the two distant powerful radio galaxies 4C 60.07 (z=3.79) and 6C 1909+722 (z=3.53). In the case of 4C 60.07 the dust emission is also detected…

White dwarfs whose atmospheres are polluted by terrestrial-like planetary debris have become a powerful and unique tool to study evolved planetary systems. This paper presents results for an unbiased Spitzer IRAC search for circumstellar…

Young massive stars warm up the large amount of gas and dust which condenses in their vicinity, exciting a forest of lines from different molecular species. Their line brightness is a diagnostic tool of the gas physical conditions locally,…

Context: Quantifying the gas content inside the dust gaps of transition disks is important to establish their origin. Aims: We seek to constrain the surface density of warm gas in the disk of HD 139614, a Herbig Ae star with a transition…

We describe results from a survey for J=3-2 12CO emission from visible stars with an infrared excess. The line is clearly detected in 21 objects, with molecular gas (>10^-3 Jupiter masses) common in targets with infrared excesses >0.01…

We present five epochs of near IR observations of the protoplanetary disk around MWC 480 (HD31648) obtained with the SpeX spectrograph on NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) between 2007 and 2013, inclusive. Using the measured line…

We report 24 and/or 70 um measurements of ~160 A-type main-sequence stars using the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). Their ages range from 5 to 850 Myr based on estimates from the literature (cluster or moving group…

In a multi-wavelength study of thermal emission and scattered light images we analyse the dust properties and structure of the debris disc around the A1-type main sequence star 49~Cet. As a basis for this study, we present new scattered…

We present results from an Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Cycle 2 program to map CO(2-1) emission in nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) that host circumnuclear gas disks. We obtained $\sim0.3''-$resolution Band 6…

Transitional disks show a lack of excess emission at infrared wavelengths due to a large dust cavity, that is often corroborated by spatially resolved observations at ~ mm wavelengths. We present the first spatially resolved ~ mm-wavelength…
