Clues to NaCN formation
G. Quintana-Lacaci, J. Cernicharo, L. Velilla Prieto +5
ALMA is providing us essential information on where certain molecules form. Observing where these molecules emission arises from, the physical conditions of the gas, and how this r…
The Abundance of SiC2 in Carbon Star Envelopes: Evidence that SiC2 is a gas-phase precursor of SiC dust
S. Massalkhi, M. Agúndez, J. Cernicharo +6
Silicon carbide dust is ubiquitous in circumstellar envelopes around C-rich AGB stars. However, the main gas-phase precursors leading to the formation of SiC dust have not yet been…
The circumstellar envelope around the S-type AGB star W Aql Effects of an eccentric binary orbit
S. Ramstedt, S. Mohamed, W. H. T. Vlemmings +9
The CO(J=3-2) emission from the CSE of the binary S-type AGB star W Aql has been observed at subarcsecond resolution using ALMA. The aim of this paper is to investigate the wind pr…
IRC +10 216 in 3-D: morphology of a TP-AGB star envelope
M. Guélin, N. A. Patel, M. Bremer +10
During their late pulsating phase, AGB stars expel most of their mass in the form of massive dusty envelopes, an event that largely controls the composition of interstellar matter.…
The growth of carbon chains in IRC+10216 mapped with ALMA
M. Agundez, J. Cernicharo, G. Quintana-Lacaci +9
Linear carbon chains are common in various types of astronomical molecular sources. Possible formation mechanisms involve both bottom-up and top-down routes. We have carried out a…
