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…
Rotational spectra of vibrationally excited AlO and TiO in oxygen rich stars
T. Danilovich, C. A. Gottlieb, L. Decin +6
Rotational transitions in vibrationally excited AlO and TiO -- two possible precursors of dust -- were observed in the 300 GHz range (1 mm wavelength) towards the oxygen rich AGB s…
Organic molecules, ions, and rare isotopologues in the remnant of the stellar-merger candidate, CK Vulpeculae (Nova 1670)
T. Kamiński, K. M. Menten, R. Tylenda +3
CK Vul is a star whose outburst was observed in 1670-72. A stellar-merger event was proposed to explain its ancient eruption. Aims: We aim to investigate the composition of the mol…
Search for aluminium monoxide in the winds of oxygen-rich AGB stars
E. De Beck, L. Decin, S. Ramstedt +4
Aluminium monoxide, AlO, is likely efficiently depleted from the gas around oxygen-rich evolved stars to form alumina clusters and dust seeds. Its presence in the extended atmosphe…
An observational study of dust nucleation in Mira ( Ceti): II. Titanium oxides are negligible for nucleation at high temperatures
T. Kamiński, H. S. P. Müller, M. R. Schmidt +7
The formation of silicate dust in oxygen-rich envelopes of evolved stars is thought to be initiated by formation of seed particles that can withstand the high temperatures close to…
An Extreme High-Velocity Bipolar Outflow in the Pre-Planetary Nebula IRAS 08005-2356
R. Sahai, N. A. Patel
We report interferometric mapping of the bipolar pre-planetary nebula IRAS 08005-2356 with an angular-resolution of ~1"-5", using the Submillimeter Array (SMA), in the 12CO J=2-1,…
