The shape and composition of interstellar silicate grains
M. Min, L. B. F. M. Waters, A. de Koter +3
We investigate the composition and shape distribution of silicate dust grains in the interstellar medium. The effect of the amount of magnesium in the silicate lattice is studied.…

The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: Mass loss and rotation of early-type stars in the SMC
M. R. Mokiem, A. de Koter, C. J. Evans +9
We have studied the optical spectra of a sample of 31 O- and early B-type stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, 21 of which are associated with the young massive cluster NGC 346. St…

Probing the mass-loss history of AGB and red supergiant stars from CO rotational line profiles I. Theoretical model -- Mass-loss history unravelled in VY CMa
L. Decin, S. Hony, A. de Koter +3
Context: Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of low mass stars while they are on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB). The gas and dust ejected during this phase are a ma…
