The dynamical evolution of the fragmented, bipolar dust shell around the carbon star IRC +10216: Rapid changes of a PPN-like structure?
R. Osterbart, Y. Balega, T. Bloecker +2
We present high-resolution J-, H-, and K-band observations and the first H-K color image of the carbon star IRC +10216. The images were reconstructed from 6m telescope speckle inte…
The dynamical evolution of the dust shell of IRC+10216
R. Osterbart, Y. Balega, T. Bloecker +2
We present high-resolution J-, H-, and K-band observations of the carbon star IRC+10216. The images were reconstructed from 6 m telescope speckle interferograms using the bispectru…
The rapidly evolving hypergiant IRC+10420: High-resolution bispectrum speckle-interferometry and dust-shell modelling
T. Bloecker, Y. Balega, K. -H. Hofmann +3
The hypergiant IRC+10420 is a unique object for the study of stellar evolution since it is the only object that is believed to be witnessed in its rapid transition from the red sup…
High-resolution speckle masking interferometry and radiative transfer modeling of the oxygen-rich AGB star AFGL 2290
A. Gauger, Y. Y. Balega, P. Irrgang +2
We present the first diffraction-limited speckle masking observations of the oxygen-rich AGB star AFGL 2290. The data was obtained with the Russian 6m SAO telescope. At the wavelen…
Diffraction-limited 76 mas speckle-masking interferometry of the carbon star IRC+10216 and related AGB objects with the SAO 6m telescope
G. Weigelt, T. Bloecker, K. -H. Hofmann +4
We present high-resolution J-, H-, and K-band observations of the carbon star IRC+10216. The images were reconstructed from 6m telescope speckle interferograms using the speckle ma…
76 mas speckle-masking interferometry of IRC+10216 with the SAO 6m telescope: Evidence for a clumpy shell structure
G. Weigelt, Y. Balega, T. Bloecker +3
We present the first K'-band image of the carbon star IRC+10216 with 76 mas resolution. The diffraction-limited image was reconstructed from 6m telescope speckle data using the spe…
