Evolved stars, multiplicity and planets: Shaping and Being Shaped by Stellar Evolution
Theo Khouri, Wouter Vlemmings, Elvire De Beck +21
Understanding how planets and stellar companions survive and interact with their host stars as they evolve, or are ultimately destroyed in the process, is essential both for predic…
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…
A giant magnetic eruption from the asymptotic giant branch star Mira A
W. Vlemmings, M. Andriantsaralaza, B. Bojnordi Arbab +14
Mass loss during the advanced evolutionary stages of low- and intermediate-mass stars is traditionally attributed to dust-driven winds, whereas the influence of magnetic fields rem…
An empirical view of the extended atmosphere and inner envelope of the asymptotic giant branch star R Doradus. II. Constraining the dust properties with radiative transfer modelling
Thiebaut Schirmer, Theo Khouri, Wouter Vlemmings +6
Mass loss in oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars remains poorly understood, as the dust detected around them appears too transparent to drive winds through absorption a…
