Bottom-up dust nucleation theory in oxygen-rich evolved stars I. Aluminium oxide clusters
David Gobrecht, John M. C. Plane, Stefan T. Bromley +3
Aluminum oxide (alumina, AlO) is a promising candidate as a primary dust condensate in the atmospheres of oxygen-rich evolved stars. Therefore, alumina \textit{seed} pa…
Nucleation of small silicon carbide dust clusters in AGB stars
David Gobrecht, Sergio Cristallo, Luciano Piersanti +1
Silicon carbide (SiC) grains are a major dust component in carbon-rich AGB stars. The formation pathways of these grains are, however, not fully understood.\ We calculate ground st…
Dust formation in the oxygen-rich AGB star IK Tau
D. Gobrecht, I. Cherchneff, A. Sarangi +2
We model the synthesis of molecules and dust in the inner wind of the oxygen-rich Mira-type star IK Tau, by considering the effects of periodic shocks induced by the stellar pulsat…
