Periodic activity on the (sub)mm surface of the AGB star Mira A
M. Andriantsaralaza, B. Bojnordi Arbab, W. Vlemmings +7
Evolved stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) lose mass through stellar winds launched from their dynamic extended atmospheres. Recent high-angular-resolution observations of…
ATOMIUM: Inner circumstellar envelopes of oxygen-rich AGB stars as revealed by highly excited SiO lines
B. Pimpanuwat, S. Etoka, M. D. Gray +14
Silicon monoxide (SiO) traces the physical conditions and dynamics in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of AGB stars. We present high-resolution ALMA Band 6 observations of highly…
Evidence for the Keplerian orbit of a close companion around a giant star
Mats Esseldeurs, Leen Decin, Joris De Ridder +31
Close companions influence stellar evolution through tidal interactions, mass transfer, and mass loss effects. While such companions are detected around young stellar objects, main…
An accreting dwarf star orbiting the S-type giant star pi1 Gru
M. Montargès, J. Malfait, M. Esseldeurs +20
Aims. We aim to characterize the properties of the inner companion of the S-type AGB star pi1 Gru and to identify plausible future evolutionary scenarios for this triple system. Me…
ATOMIUM: Continuum emission and evidence of dust enhancement from binary motion
T. Danilovich, N. Samaratunge, Y. Mori +35
Low- and intermediate-mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) account for a significant portion of the dust and chemical enrichment in their host galaxy. Here we present AL…
New submillimetre HCN lasers in carbon-rich evolved stars
W. Yang, K. T. Wong, H. Wiesemeyer +6
Strong laser emission from hydrogen cyanide (HCN) at 805 and 891 GHz has been discovered towards carbon-rich (C-rich) AGB stars, originating from the Coriolis-coupled system betwee…
Chemical tracers of a highly eccentric AGB-main sequence star binary
T. Danilovich, J. Malfait, M. Van de Sande +32
Binary interactions have been proposed to explain a variety of circumstellar structures seen around evolved stars, including asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and planetary nebul…
ATOMIUM: Molecular inventory of 17 oxygen-rich evolved stars observed with ALMA
S. H. J. Wallstrom, T. Danilovich, H. S. P. Muller +35
The dusty winds of cool evolved stars are a major contributor of the newly synthesised material enriching the Galaxy and future generations of stars. However, the details of the ph…
ALMA High-frequency Long Baseline Campaign in 2021: Highest Angular Resolution Submillimeter Wave Images for the Carbon-rich Star R Lep
Yoshiharu Asaki, Luke T. Maud, Harold Francke +11
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) was used in 2021 to image the carbon-rich evolved star R Lep in Bands 8-10 (397-908 GHz) with baselines up to 16 km. The goa…
ATOMIUM: Probing the inner wind of evolved O-rich stars with new, highly excited HO and OH lines
A. Baudry, K. T. Wong, S. Etoka +17
Water and the hydroxyl radical are major constituents of the envelope of O-rich late-type stars. Transitions involving energy levels that are highly excited have been observed in b…
The VLT/SPHERE view of the ATOMIUM cool evolved star sample. I. Overview: Sample characterization through polarization analysis
M. Montargès, E. Cannon, A. de Koter +32
Aims. Through the ATOMIUM project, based on an ALMA large program, we aim to present a consistent view of a sample of 17 nearby cool evolved stars (Aymptotic Giant Branch and red s…
Vibrationally excited HCN transitions in circumstellar envelopes of carbon-rich AGB stars
Manali Jeste, Yan Gong, Ka Tat Wong +3
Context. HCN is the most abundant molecule after H and CO in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Its rotational lines withi…
ATOMIUM: Halide molecules around the S-type AGB star W Aquilae
T. Danilovich, M. Van de Sande, J. M. C. Plane +36
S-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are thought to be intermediates in the evolution of oxygen- to carbon-rich AGB stars. The chemical compositions of their circumstellar en…
Atomium: The astounding complexity of the near circumstellar environment of the M-type AGB star R Hydrae. I. Morpho-kinematical interpretation of CO and SiO emission
Ward Homan, Bannawit Pimpanuwat, Fabrice Herpin +36
Evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars are known to shed their gaseous envelope into a large, dusty, molecule-rich circumstellar nebula which typically develops a high degree of s…
Molecular remnant of Nova 1670 (CK Vulpeculae): I. Properties and enigmatic origin of the gas
T. Kaminski, K. M. Menten, R. Tylenda +5
CK Vul erupted in 1670 and is considered a stellar-merger candidate. Its remnant contains a molecular component of surprisingly rich composition. We present interferometric line su…
Astronomical detection of a radioactive molecule 26AlF in a remnant of an ancient explosion
Tomasz Kamiński, Romuald Tylenda, Karl M. Menten +6
Decades ago, -ray observatories identified diffuse Galactic emission at 1.809 MeV originating from decays of an isotope of aluminium, Al, that has a mean-life time…
