Synthetic photometry for carbon-rich giants. III. Tracing the sequence of mass-losing galactic C-type Miras

W. Nowotny, B. Aringer, S. Hoefner +1

With the help of model calculations we aim at reproducing the observational photometric findings for a large sample of well-characterised galactic C-type Mira variables losing mass…

Dust driven mass loss from carbon stars as a function of stellar parameters - I. A grid of Solar-metallicity wind models (Corrigendum)

Lars Mattsson, Rurik Wahlin, Susanne Höfner

The purpose of this corrigendum is to point out that a handful of models in the original paper were computed with faulty initial structures. Using exactly the same modelling method…

Dust Formation and Winds around Evolved Stars: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Cases

S. Hoefner

Cool luminous giants, in particular asymptotic giant branch stars, are among the most important sources of cosmic dust. Their extended dynamical atmospheres are places where grains…

Headwind: Modelling Mass Loss of AGB Stars, Against All Odds

S. Hoefner

The intricate interplay of atmospheric shock waves and a complex, variable radiation field with non-equilibrium dust formation presents a considerable challenge to self-consistent…

Modelling NIR molecular lines for Miras

W. Nowotny, S. Hoefner, T. Lebzelter +2

The atmospheric structure of Mira variables is considerably influenced by pulsation. Molecular absorption lines in the near-infrared (NIR), especially second overtone CO lines, sho…

Dynamic model atmospheres of cool giants

S. Hoefner, R. Gautschy-Loidl, B. Aringer +3

Cool giant stars are highly dynamical objects, and complex micro-physical processes play an important role in their extended atmospheres and winds. The interpretation of observatio…
