The upcoming Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST) slitless spectroscopic survey poses a challenge of flux calibration, which requires a large number of flux-standard stars. In this work, we design an uncertainty-aware residual attention…
The unusual spectral energy distribution (SED) of the classical T Tauri star GM Aurigae provides evidence for the presence of an inner disc hole extending to several au. Using a combination of hydrodynamical simulations and Monte Carlo…
We present a novel Bayesian method, referred to as Blobby3D, to infer gas kinematics that mitigates the effects of beam smearing for observations using Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS). The method is robust for regularly rotating galaxies…

We provide a library of some 7000 SEDs for starbursts and ultra luminous galaxies (http://www.eso.org/~rsiebenm/sb_models). Its purpose is to quickly obtain estimates of the basic parameters, such as luminosity, size and dust or gas mass…
The interaction between shear and double-diffusive convection (DDC) in the diffusive regime (cold fresh water on top of hot salty water) plays an important role in the heat and mass transport of polar region oceans. This study computes…
We conducted Herschel/PACS observations of five very low-mass stars or brown dwarfs located in the TW Hya association with the goal of characterizing the properties of disks in the low stellar mass regime. We detected all five targets at…

The dust sublimation walls of disks around T Tauri stars represent a directly observable cross-section through the disk atmosphere and midplane. Their emission properties can probe the grain size distribution and composition of the…
We have pursued two different methods to analyze the old stellar population near the Galactic plane, using data from the 2MASS survey. The first method is based on the isolation of the red clump giant population in the color-magnitude…
Models of the formation, evolution and photoevaporation of circumstellar disks are an essential ingredient in many theories of the formation of planetary systems. The ratio of disk mass over stellar mass in the circumstellar phase of a disk…

The structural properties of the low surface brightness stellar host in blue compact dwarf galaxies are often studied by fitting r^{1/n} models to the outer regions of their radial profiles. The limitations imposed by the presence of a…
The circumstellar environments of classical T Tauri stars are challenging to directly image because of their high star-to-disk contrast ratio. One method to overcome this is by using imaging polarimetry where scattered and consequently…
