Bottom-up dust nucleation theory in oxygen-rich evolved stars II. Magnesium and calcium aluminate clusters
David Gobrecht, S. Rasoul Hashemi, John M. C. Plane +3
Spinel (MgAlO) and krotite (CaAlO) are alternative candidates to alumina (AlO) as primary dust condensates in the atmospheres of oxygen-rich evolved…
ATOMIUM: Probing the inner wind of evolved O-rich stars with new, highly excited HO and OH lines
A. Baudry, K. T. Wong, S. Etoka +17
Water and the hydroxyl radical are major constituents of the envelope of O-rich late-type stars. Transitions involving energy levels that are highly excited have been observed in b…
The VLT/SPHERE view of the ATOMIUM cool evolved star sample. I. Overview: Sample characterization through polarization analysis
M. Montargès, E. Cannon, A. de Koter +32
Aims. Through the ATOMIUM project, based on an ALMA large program, we aim to present a consistent view of a sample of 17 nearby cool evolved stars (Aymptotic Giant Branch and red s…
Experimental study of the removal of excited state phosphorus atoms by HO and H: implications for the formation of PO in stellar winds
Kevin M. Douglas, David Gobrecht, John M. C. Plane
The reactions of the low-lying metastable states of atomic phosphorus, P(D) and P(P), with HO and H were studied by the pulsed laser photolysis at 248 nm of PCl…
ATOMIUM: ALMA tracing the origins of molecules in dust forming oxygen rich M-type stars: Motivation, sample, calibration, and initial results
C. A. Gottlieb, L. Decin, A. M. S. Richards +33
This overview paper presents ATOMIUM, a Large Programme in Cycle 6 with the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA). The goal of ATOMIUM is to understand the dynamics a…
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…
ATOMIUM: Halide molecules around the S-type AGB star W Aquilae
T. Danilovich, M. Van de Sande, J. M. C. Plane +36
S-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are thought to be intermediates in the evolution of oxygen- to carbon-rich AGB stars. The chemical compositions of their circumstellar en…
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…
