Tracing the phase transition of Al-bearing species from molecules to dust in AGB winds. Constraining the presence of gas-phase (Al2O3)n clusters
L. Decin, A. M. S. Richards, L. B. F. M. Waters +8
(abbreviated) We aim to constrain the dust formation histories in the winds of oxygen-rich AGB stars. We have obtained ALMA observations with a spatial resolution of 120x150 mas tr…

Nucleation of small silicon carbide dust clusters in AGB stars
David Gobrecht, Sergio Cristallo, Luciano Piersanti +1
Silicon carbide (SiC) grains are a major dust component in carbon-rich AGB stars. The formation pathways of these grains are, however, not fully understood.\ We calculate ground st…
