OH/IR stars in the inner Galactic bulge: I. Colour, CO line, and stellar light curve characteristics
H. Olofsson, T. Khouri, S. Muller +11
Stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) play important roles in a number of astronomical contexts. To quantify these roles, it is necessary to establish the mass-loss characteri…
A homogeneous view of asymptotic giant branch carbon stars as seen by Gaia
Alessio Liberatori, Despina Hatzidimitriou, Konstantinos Antoniadis +12
Carbon stars on the asymptotic giant branch are major contributors to galactic dust enrichment, with gas mass-loss rates up to 1e-4 Msun/yr. We present a homogeneous spectral energ…
Calibration of the JAGB method for the Magellanic Clouds and Milky Way from Gaia DR3, considering the role of oxygen-rich AGB stars
Else Magnus, Martin Groenewegen, Leo Girardi +3
The JAGB method is a new way of measuring distances with use of AGB stars that are situated in a selected region in a J versus J-Ks CMD, using the fact that the absolute J magnitud…
An impressionist view of V Hydrae. When MATISSE paints Asymmetric Giant Blobs
L. Planquart, C. Paladini, A. Jorissen +29
Our purpose is to study the effect of binary companions located within the first 10 stellar radii from the primary AGB star. In this work, we target the mass-losing carbon star V H…
