SiO Maser Line-width Diagnostics of AGB Stars and Red Supergiants: The RSG-adjacent Region in the FWZI--Luminosity Plane
Qiu-Yu Tao, Jun-ichi Nakashima, Yong Zhang +3
We investigate whether SiO maser line profiles can distinguish asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars from red supergiants (RSGs) and identify unusual AGB-classified sources near the…
HI envelope around the carbon star V420 Vul
Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Chuan-Peng Zhang +1
We report the detection of an extended 21-cm parsec-scale \ion{H}{i} structure toward the Mira variable V420\,Vul using archival Galactic Arecibo L-band Feed Array survey data. The…
FAST search for circumstellar atomic hydrogen. IV. bubbles associated with planetary nebulae
Jun-Yang Liu, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang
Investigating the bubbles generated by the interaction between asymptotic giant branch stellar outflows and the interstellar medium (ISM) is pivotal for elucidating the mechanism b…
The Missing Giant: Do FAST Spectroscopic Observations Reveal a Scarcity of Large Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Astronomical Environments?
Yi Shao, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang +1
The search for large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with over 100 carbon atoms is crucial to resolving the origin of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands. These band…
Gas-phase Molecules in Protoplanetary Nebulae with the 21 μm Emission Feature II. Carbon monosulfide
Jian-Jie Qiu, Yong Zhang, Deng-Rong Lu +7
The carrier of the 21 m emission feature discovered in a handful of protoplanetary nebulae (PPNe) is one of the most intriguing enigmas in circumstellar chemistry. Investigating…
A 3mm molecular line survey toward IRC+10216
Yi-Na Ao, Yong Zhang, Jian-Jie Qiu +2
IRC+10216 is the brightest infrared source in the northern sky, known for its rich chemical composition. It is often used as a standard reference for studying the circumstellar env…
FAST search for circumstellar atomic hydrogen. III. Planetary nebulae at Galactic latitudes |b|>10degree
Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Albert Zijlstra +4
The detection of circumstellar atomic hydrogen (\ion{H}{1}) via the 21\,cm line remains a persistent challenge in planetary nebula (PN) studies, primarily due to contamination from…
A molecule-rich torus-like structure in the 21 m source IRAS 23304+6147
Hao-Min Sun, Yong Zhang, Xu-Jia Ouyang +4
A long-standing enigma in observational astronomy is the identification of the so-called 21 m feature in a subset of envelopes of post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars.…
Considerations on the Origin of IRAS 19312+1950 Based on Long-Term Maser Observations
Huan-Xue Feng, Jun-ichi Nakashima, D. Engels +5
IRAS source 19312+1950 (hereafter I19312) is an infrared point source with maser emissions of SiO, HO, and OH molecules. Although initial observations suggested that I19312 mig…
FAST detection of OH emission in the carbon-rich planetary nebula NGC 7027
Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Chuan-Peng Zhang +8
We present the first detection of the ground-state OH emission line at 1612 MHz toward the prototypical carbon-rich planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7027, utilizing the newly installed ul…
Excited-State OH Masers in the Water Fountain Source IRAS 18460-0151
Xu-Jia Ouyang, Yong Zhang, Juan Li +3
Water fountain objects are generally defined as "evolved stars with low to intermediate initial mass accompanied by high-velocity molecular jets detectable in the 22.235 GHz HO…
Gas-phase molecules in protoplanetary nebulae with the 21 μm emission feature
Jian-Jie Qiu, Yong Zhang, Jun-ichi Nakashima +6
It has been more than 30 years since the enigmatic 21 μm emission feature was first discovered in protoplanetary nebulae (PPNs). Although dozens of different dust carrier candidate…
Systematic Search for Water Fountain Candidates using the Databases of Circumstellar Maser Sources
Haichen Fan, Jun-ichi Nakashima, D. Engels +6
Water fountains (WFs) are thought to be objects in the morphological evolution of the circumstellar envelopes of low- and intermediate-mass evolved stars, transitioning from spheri…
