The Photospheric Temperatures of Betelgeuse during the Great Dimming of 2019/2020: No New Dust Required

Graham M Harper, Edward F Guinan, Richard Wasatonic +1

The processes that shape the extended atmospheres of red supergiants (RSGs), heat their chromospheres, create molecular reservoirs, drive mass loss, and create dust remain poorly u…

ALMA and VLA reveal the lukewarm chromospheres of the nearby red supergiants Antares and Betelgeuse

E. O'Gorman, G. M. Harper, K. Ohnaka +8

We first present spatially resolved ALMA and VLA continuum observations of the early-M red supergiant Antares to search for the presence of a chromosphere at radio wavelengths. We…

SOFIA-EXES Observations of Betelgeuse during the Great Dimming of 2019/2020

Graham M. Harper, Curtis N. DeWitt, Matthew J. Richter +6

In 2019 October Betelgeuse began a decline in V-band brightness that went beyond the minimum expected from its quasi-periodic ~420 day cycle, becoming the faintest in recorded phot…

Stars at High Spatial Resolution

Kenneth G. Carpenter, Gerard van Belle, Alexander Brown +19

We summarize some of the compelling new scientific opportunities for understanding stars and stellar systems that can be enabled by sub-milliarcsec (sub-mas) angular resolution, UV…

NOEMA maps the CO environment of the red supergiant Cep

M. Montargès, W. Homan, D. Keller +8

Red supergiant stars are surrounded by a gaseous and dusty circumstellar environment created by their mass loss which spreads heavy elements into the interstellar medium. The struc…

High-Energy Photon and Particle Effects onExoplanet Atmospheres and Habitability

Jeremy J. Drake, Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Vladimir Airapetian +41

It is now recognized that energetic stellar photon and particle radiation evaporates and erodes planetary atmospheres and controls upper atmospheric chemistry. Key exoplanet host s…
