Dusty shells surrounding the carbon variables S Scuti and RT Capricorni
M. Mecina, F. Kerschbaum, M. A. T. Groenewegen +8
For the Mass-loss of Evolved StarS (MESS) programme, the unprecedented spatial resolution of the PACS photometer on board the Herschel space observatory was employed to map the dus…
Herschel/PACS observations of the 69 band of crystalline olivine around evolved stars
J. A. D. L. Blommaert, B. L. de Vries, L. B. F. M. Waters +15
We present 48 Herschel/PACS spectra of evolved stars in the wavelength range of 67-72 m. This wavelength range covers the 69 m band of crystalline olivine ($\text{Mg}_{2-2x}\…
The wind of W Hya as seen by Herschel - I. The CO envelope
T. Khouri, A. de Koter, L. Decin +25
Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars lose their envelopes by means of a stellar wind whose driving mechanism is not understood well. Characterizing the composition and thermal and d…
Optical constants of refractory oxides at high temperatures
Simon Zeidler, Thomas Posch, Harald Mutschke
Many cosmic dust species, among them refractory oxides, form at temperatures higher than 300 K. Nevertheless, most astrophysical studies are based on the room-temperature optical c…
Large-scale environments of binary AGB stars probed by Herschel - I. Morphology statistics and case studies of R Aquarii and W Aquilae
A. Mayer, A. Jorissen, F. Kerschbaum +14
The Mass loss of Evolved StarS (MESS) sample offers a selection of 78 Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and Red Supergiants (RSGs) observed with the PACS photometer on-board Hers…
Discovery of multiple dust shells beyond 1 arcmin in the circumstellar envelope of IRC+10216 using Herschel/PACS
L. Decin, P. Royer, N. L. J. Cox +9
We present new Herschel/PACS images at 70, 100, and 160 micron of the well-known, nearby, carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch star IRC+10216 revealing multiple dust shells in its c…
