Near-infrared Integral-field Spectroscopy of the Wind Forming Region of CW Leo
Hyosun Kim, Youichi Ohyama, Ho-Gyu Lee +1
The circumstellar envelope of the carbon star CW Leo exhibited various unexpected changes in recent optical imaging observations. We have performed a follow-up observation using th…
Long-term Simultaneous Monitoring Observations of SiO and H2O Masers toward the Mira Variable WX Serpentis
Jang-Ho Lim, Jaeheon Kim, Se-Hyung Cho +4
We present the results from long-term simultaneous monitoring observations of SiO and H2O masers toward the Mira variable star WX Serpentis. This study has been conducted with 21m…
Evolution From Asymptotic Giant Branch to Pre-planetary Nebula: Whorled Patterns and Stellar Companions
Hyosun Kim
Bipolar or multipolar lobes in pre-planetary nebulae (pPNe) often exhibit intertwined outer whorled patterns, resulting from stellar wind matter accumulation during the asymptotic…
High-Speed Outflows and Dusty Disks during the AGB to PN Transition: The PANORAMA survey
Raghvendra Sahai, Javier Alcolea, Bruce Balick +15
As mass-losing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars evolve to planetary nebulae (PNe), the mass outflow geometries transform from nearly spherical to extreme aspherical. The physica…
Pinwheel Outflow induced by Stellar Mass Loss in a Coplanar Triple System
Hyosun Kim, Mark R. Morris, Jongsoo Kim +1
We develop a physical framework for interpreting complex circumstellar patterns whorled around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars by investigating stable, coplanar triple systems…
