ATOMIUM: Continuum emission and evidence of dust enhancement from binary motion

T. Danilovich, N. Samaratunge, Y. Mori +35

Low- and intermediate-mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) account for a significant portion of the dust and chemical enrichment in their host galaxy. Here we present AL…

SPH modelling of AGB wind morphology in hierarchical triple systems \& comparison to observation of R Aql

Jolien Malfait, Lionel Siess, Owen Vermeulen +7

Asymmetric 3D structures are observed in the outflows of evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars, and are believed to be shaped through the interaction of companions that are hidd…

Chemical tracers of a highly eccentric AGB-main sequence star binary

T. Danilovich, J. Malfait, M. Van de Sande +32

Binary interactions have been proposed to explain a variety of circumstellar structures seen around evolved stars, including asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and planetary nebul…

ATOMIUM: Molecular inventory of 17 oxygen-rich evolved stars observed with ALMA

S. H. J. Wallstrom, T. Danilovich, H. S. P. Muller +35

The dusty winds of cool evolved stars are a major contributor of the newly synthesised material enriching the Galaxy and future generations of stars. However, the details of the ph…

The VLT/SPHERE view of the ATOMIUM cool evolved star sample. I. Overview: Sample characterization through polarization analysis

M. Montargès, E. Cannon, A. de Koter +32

Aims. Through the ATOMIUM project, based on an ALMA large program, we aim to present a consistent view of a sample of 17 nearby cool evolved stars (Aymptotic Giant Branch and red s…

3D hydrodynamical survey of the impact of a companion on the morphology and dynamics of AGB outflow

Jolien Malfait, Silke Maes, Ward Homan +4

With the use of high-resolution ALMA observations, complex structures that resemble those observed in post-AGB stars and planetary nebulae are detected in the circumstellar envelop…

ATOMIUM: ALMA tracing the origins of molecules in dust forming oxygen rich M-type stars: Motivation, sample, calibration, and initial results

C. A. Gottlieb, L. Decin, A. M. S. Richards +33

This overview paper presents ATOMIUM, a Large Programme in Cycle 6 with the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA). The goal of ATOMIUM is to understand the dynamics a…

ATOMIUM: Halide molecules around the S-type AGB star W Aquilae

T. Danilovich, M. Van de Sande, J. M. C. Plane +36

S-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are thought to be intermediates in the evolution of oxygen- to carbon-rich AGB stars. The chemical compositions of their circumstellar en…

SPH modelling of wind-companion interactions in eccentric AGB binary systems

J. Malfait, W. Homan, S. Maes +4

The late evolutionary stages of low- and intermediate-mass stars are characterised by mass loss through a dust-driven stellar wind. Recent observations reveal complex structures wi…

SPH modelling of companion-perturbed AGB outflows including a new morphology classification scheme

S. Maes, W. Homan, J. Malfait +4

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are known to lose a significant amount of mass by a stellar wind, which controls the remainder of their stellar lifetime. High angular-resolutio…

Magritte, a modern software library for 3D radiative transfer: II. Adaptive ray-tracing, mesh construction and reduction

Frederik De Ceuster, Jan Bolte, Ward Homan +6

Radiative transfer is a notoriously difficult and computationally demanding problem. Yet, it is an indispensable ingredient in nearly all astrophysical and cosmological simulations…

(Sub)stellar companions shape the winds of evolved stars

L. Decin, M. Montargès, A. M. S. Richards +32

Binary interactions dominate the evolution of massive stars, but their role is less clear for low- and intermediate-mass stars. The evolution of a spherical wind from an asymptotic…

Wind morphology around cool evolved stars in binaries: the case of slowly accelerating oxygen-rich outflows

I. El Mellah, J. Bolte, L. Decin +2

The late stellar evolutionary phases of low and intermediate-mass stars are strongly constrained by their mass-loss rates. The wind surrounding cool evolved stars frequently shows…

Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for radiative transfer in spherical symmetry

D. Kitzmann, J. Bolte, A. B. C. Patzer

The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) is successfully applied to treat a broad variety of transport problems numerically. In this work, we use the full capacity…

Monte-Carlo simulations of intensity profiles for energetic particle propagation

R. C. Tautz, J. Bolte, A. Shalchi

Aims. Numerical test-particle simulations are a reliable and frequently used tool to test analytical transport theories and to predict mean-free paths. The comparison between solut…

3D Hydrodynamic Simulations of the Galactic Supernova Remnant CTB 109

Jan Bolte, Manami Sasaki, Dieter Breitschwerdt

Using detailed 3D hydrodynamic simulations we study the nature of the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) CTB 109 (G109.1-1.0), which is well-known for its semicircular shape and a br…
