MATISSE unveils a dusty disc in the interior of EP Aquarii. First evidence of a misaligned hierarchical triple system with a central AGB star?

J. Alonso-Hernández, C. Paladini, C. Sánchez Contreras +26

Aims. We have mapped the dust and molecular gas emission distributions in the vicinity (a few stellar radii) of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star EP\,Aquarii, with a previousl…

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…

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 surprisingly large asymmetric ejection from Mira A

T. Khouri, W. H. T. Vlemmings, D. A. Raudales Oseguera +6

Stars with masses between roughly 1 and 8~ end their lives on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), when intense mass loss takes place. The outflows are generally accepted to…

X TrA through the eyes of MATISSE: More evidence of clumpy molecular layers around C-type asymptotic giant branch stars

V. Răstău, C. Paladini, J. Drevon +22

Aims. The goal of this study is to further the understanding of the wind formation mechanism in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars through the analysis of the close environment (w…

Detection of highly excited OH towards AGB stars: A new probe of shocked gas in the extended atmospheres

T. Khouri, L. Velilla-Prieto, E. De Beck +5

We report the detection and investigate the properties of high-excitation lambda-doubling line emission of hydroxyl (OH) detected towards three asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars…
