Giants in the globular cluster omega Centauri: dust production, mass loss and distance
Iain McDonald, Jacco Th. van Loon, Leen Decin +5
We present spectral energy distribution modelling of 6875 stars in omega Centauri, obtaining stellar luminosities and temperatures by fitting literature photometry to state-of-the-…
Detection of `parent' molecules from the inner wind of AGB stars as tracers of non-equilibrium chemistry
L. Decin, I. Cherchneff, S. Hony +3
Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are typified by strong dust-driven, molecular outflows. For long, it was believed that the molecular setup of the circumstellar envelope of AGB…
The variable mass loss of the AGB star WX Psc as traced by the CO J=1-0 through 7-6 lines and the dust emission
L. Decin, S. Hony, A. de Koter +3
Low and intermediate mass stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through a dust-driven wind during the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase. Recent studies show that winds…
Continuum emission around AGB stars at 1.2 mm
S. Dehaes, M. A. T. Groenewegen, L. Decin +3
It is generally acknowledged that the mass loss of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars undergoes variations on different time scales. We constructed models for the dust envelopes f…
Estimating Stellar Parameters from Spectra using a Hierarchical Bayesian Approach
Z. Shkedy, L. Decin, G. Molenberghs +1
A method is developed for fitting theoretically predicted astronomical spectra to an observed spectrum. Using a hierarchical Bayesian principle, the method takes both systematic an…
AGB nucleosynthesis in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Detailed abundance analysis of the RV Tauri star MACHO47.2496.8
M. Reyniers, C. Abia, H. Van Winckel +4
Context. Abundance analysis of post-AGB objects as probes of AGB nucleosynthesis. Aims. A detailed photospheric abundance study is performed on the carbon-rich post-AGB candidate M…
