We present the discovery of debris systems around three Sun-like stars based on observations performed with the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of a Legacy Science Program, ``The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems'' (FEPS). We also confirm the presence of debris around two other stars. ... ADS Citation Query . citations = 55 . citations vs. year [year,citations] . ...

Amir Ahmad and Simon Jeffery have been studying some rare stars known, loosely, as helium-rich subdwarfs. ... Further study showed that PG1544+488 is in fact a double star with both stars having extremely helium-rich surfaces -- the first case known. ...

... Galaxy Evolution home . ... Regulating the ISM and star formation . Cosmological evolution of star-forming galaxies . ... Local Information . ... In order to investigate the cosmological evolution of star-forming galaxies it is essential that we understand the physics which controls the evolution and regulation of star formation in the ISM. ... We use a combined observational and numerical approach to study interacting and merging galaxies in the local Universe. ...

Welcome to the home page of the Late Stages of Stellar Evolution" We are a research group which operates within the Astrophysics Group of the Australia Telescope National Facility. ... To investigate the late stages of stellar evolution and in particular the role of stellar mass-loss in the evolution of asymptotic giant branch stars, proto-planetary nebulae and extremely massive stars. ...

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...
