The Tip of the Red Giant Branch and Distance of the Magellanic Clouds: results from the DENIS survey
Maria-Rosa. L. Cioni, Roeland P. van der Marel, Cecile Loup +1
We present a precise determination of the apparent magnitude of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) in the I (0.8 micron), J (1.25 micron), and K_S (2.15 micron) bands from the…
Mass-loss rates and luminosity functions of dust-enshrouded AGB stars and red supergiants in the LMC
Jacco Th. van Loon, M. A. T. Groenewegen, A. de Koter +5
A radiative transfer code is used to model the spectral energy distributions of 57 mass-losing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and red supergiants (RSGs) in the Large Magellani…
ISO observations of obscured Asymptotic Giant Branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Norman R. Trams, Jacco Th. van Loon, L. B. F. M. Waters +8
We present ISO photometric and spectroscopic observations of a sample of 57 bright Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and red supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud, selected on the…
Radio and Infrared Emission from a [WC]-Type Planetary Nebula in the LMC
Albert A. Zijlstra, Peter A. M. van Hoof, Jessica M. Chapman +1
Radio continuum emission has been detected from a planetary nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud: this is the first radio continuum detection for any planetary nebula outside our g…
