CO rotational line emission in very red carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds
M. A. T. Groenewegen, A. Nanni, M. L. Boyer +11
Stars of low and intermediate initial mass lose most of their stellar mass at the end of their lives during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. Determining their gas and dust…
The JWST/MIRI view of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 I.: a UV irradiated torus and a hot bubble triggering PAH formation
Mikako Matsuura, Kevin Volk, Patrick Kavanagh +34
NGC 6302 is a spectacular bipolar planetary nebula (PN) whose spectrum exhibits fast outflows and highly ionized emission lines, indicating the presence of a very hot central star…
JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720) -- II. PAH emission
Nicholas Clark, Els Peeters, Nick L. J. Cox +16
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in clumpy circumstellar environments, yet their formation and evolutionary pathways in such environ…
JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720): I. Imaging of the rings, globules, and arcs
R. Wesson, Mikako Matsuura, Albert A. Zijlstra +18
We present JWST images of the well-known planetary nebula NGC 6720 (the Ring Nebula), covering wavelengths from 1.6m to 25 m. The bright shell is strongly fragmented with som…
On the detection of CO and mass loss of Bulge OH/IR stars
Joris Blommaert, Martin Groenewegen, Kay Justtanont +1
We report on the succesful search for CO (2-1) and (3-2) emission associated with OH/IR stars in the Galactic Bulge. We observed a sample of eight extremely red AGB stars with the…
ALMA Compact Array observations of the Fried Egg nebula: Evidence for large-scale asymmetric mass-loss from the yellow hypergiant IRAS 17163-3907
Sofia Wallstrom, E. Lagadec, S. Muller +12
Yellow hypergiants are rare and represent a fast evolutionary stage of massive evolved stars. That evolutionary phase is characterised by a very intense mass loss, the understandin…
