ATOMIUM: Molecular inventory of 17 oxygen-rich evolved stars observed with ALMA
S. H. J. Wallstrom, T. Danilovich, H. S. P. Muller +35
The dusty winds of cool evolved stars are a major contributor of the newly synthesised material enriching the Galaxy and future generations of stars. However, the details of the ph…
Magnesium and silicon in interstellar dust: an X-ray overview
D. Rogantini, E. Costantini, S. T. Zeegers +5
The dense Galactic environment is a large reservoir of interstellar dust. Therefore, this region represents a perfect laboratory to study the properties of the cosmic dust grains.…
Reduction of the maximum mass-loss rate of OH/IR stars due to unnoticed binary interaction
L. Decin, W. Homan, T. Danilovich +12
In 1981, the idea of a superwind that ends the life of cool giant stars was proposed. Extreme OH/IR-stars develop superwinds with the highest mass-loss rates known so far, up to a…
Study of the inner dust envelope and stellar photosphere of the AGB star R Doradus using SPHERE/ZIMPOL
T. Khouri, M. Maercker, L. B. F. M. Waters +12
We use high-angular-resolution images obtained with SPHERE/ZIMPOL to study the photosphere, the warm molecular layer, and the inner wind of the close-by oxygen-rich AGB star R Dora…
Herschel observations of extreme OH/IR stars - the isotopic ratios of oxygen as a sign-post for the stellar mass
K. Justtanont, M. J. Barlow, J. Blommaert +10
Aim: The late stages of stellar evolution are mainly governed by the mass of the stars. Low- and intermediate-mass stars lose copious amounts of mass during the asymptotic giant br…
Dusty wind of W Hya. Multi-wavelength modelling of the present-day and recent mass-loss
T. Khouri, L. B. F. M. Waters, A. de Koter +5
Low- and intermediate-mass stars go through a period of intense mass-loss at the end of their lives in a phase known as the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). During the AGB a signific…
