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…

(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…
