On the nature of the cool component of MWC 560
M. Gromadzki, J. Mikolajewska, P. A. Whitelock +1
MWC 560 (V694 Mon) is one of the most enigmatic symbiotic system with a very active accretion-powered hot component. Such activity can be supported only by a luminous asymptotic gi…
Estimation of the dust mass-loss rates from AGB stars in the Fornax and Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxies
Eric Lagadec, Albert A. Zijlstra, Mikako Matsuura +2
To study the effect of metallicity on the mass-loss of AGB stars, we have conducted mid-infrared photometric measurements of AGB stars in the Sagittarius and Fornax Dwarf Spheroida…
Spitzer spectroscopy of carbon stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Eric Lagadec, Albert A. Zijlstra, G. C. Sloan +12
We present Spitzer Space telescope spectroscopic observations of 14 carbon-rich AGB stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. SiC dust is seen in most of the carbon-rich stars but it is…
Spitzer observations of acetylene bands in carbon-rich AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
M. Matsuura, P. R. Wood, G. C. Sloan +13
We investigate the molecular bands in carbon-rich AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) ov…
Carbon-Rich Mira Variables: Kinematics and Absolute Magnitudes
Michael W. Feast, Patricia A. Whitelock, John W. Menzies
The kinematics of galactic C-Miras are discussed on the basis of the bolometric magnitudes and radial velocities of Papers I and II of this series. Differential galactic rotation i…
Carbon-Rich Mira Variables: Radial Velocities and Distances
John W. Menzies, Michael W. Feast, Patricia A. Whitelock
Optical radial velocities have been measured for 38 C-type Mira variables. These data together with others in the literature are used to study the differences between optical and C…
