Disks around young stars with VLTI/MIDI
Roy van Boekel, Peter Abraham, Serge Correia +17
We report on observations of circumstellar disks around young stars that have been obtained with the MIDI instrument, which is mounted on the VLT Interferometer and operates in the…
The Missing Luminous Blue Variables and the Bistability Jump
Nathan Smith, Jorick S. Vink, Alex de Koter
We discuss an interesting feature of the distribution of luminous blue variables on the H-R diagram, and we propose a connection with the bistability jump in the winds of early-typ…
Water ice growth around evolved stars
C. Dijkstra, C. Dominik, S. N. Hoogzaad +2
We present a model of the growth of water ice on silicate grains in the circumstellar envelopes of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and Red Super Giants. We consider the growth…
The origin of crystalline silicates in the Herbig Be star HD100546 and in comet Hale-Bopp
J. Bouwman, A. de Koter, C. Dominik +1
We have investigated the spatial distribution, and the properties and chemical composition of the dust orbiting HD 100546. This system is remarkably different from other isolated H…
Predictions of variable mass loss for Luminous Blue Variables
Jorick S. Vink, Alex de Koter
We present radiation-driven wind models for Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) and predict their mass-loss rates. We study the effects of lower masses and modified abundances in compar…
The absence of the 10 um silicate feature in the isolated Herbig Ae star HD 100453
G. Meeus, J. Bouwman, C. Dominik +2
We analyse the optical and IR spectra, as well as the spectral energy distribution (UV to mm) of the candidate Herbig Ae star HD100453. This star is particular, as it shows an ener…
