Advancing extragalactic spectral line studies with the Square Kilometre Array Observatory
Jacco Th. van Loon, Viviana Casasola, Manuela Bischetti +6
We present an overview of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) science potential in the area of extragalactic spectral lines besides 21-cm neutral hydrogen. It highlights…
Cosmic Rulers: Masers as Tools for Probing Structure in the Galaxy and Beyond, from AU to kpc
Kazi L. J. Rygl, Anna Bartkiewicz, Olga Bayandina +9
Maser emission provides an unique window into astronomical sources across vast spatial scales - from tens to hundreds of astronomical units around protostars and evolved stars up t…
Measuring Magnetic Fields Near and Far with the SKA via the Zeeman Effect
Timothy Robishaw, Marta Nowotka, Tao-Chung Ching +7
Zeeman splitting in spectral lines -- both in emission and absorption -- provides direct estimates of magnetic field strength and direction in magnetized gas in our own Milky Way a…
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…
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…
