Dust driven mass loss from carbon stars as a function of stellar parameters - I. A grid of Solar-metallicity wind models (Corrigendum)

Lars Mattsson, Rurik Wahlin, Susanne Höfner

The purpose of this corrigendum is to point out that a handful of models in the original paper were computed with faulty initial structures. Using exactly the same modelling method…

Dust driven mass loss from carbon stars as a function of stellar parameters - I. A grid of Solar-metallicity wind models

Lars Mattsson, Rurik Wahlin, Susanne Hoefner

[Abridged] We have computed a grid of 900 numeric dynamic model atmospheres (DMAs) using a well-tested computer code. This grid of models covers most of the expected combinations o…

Intense Mass Loss from C-rich AGB Stars at low Metallicity?

L. Mattsson, R. Wahlin, S. Höfner +1

We argue that the energy injection of pulsations may be of greater importance to the mass-loss rate of AGB stars than metallicity, and that the mass-loss trend with metallicity is…

The Chemical Composition of Red Giants, AGB Stars and Planetary Nebulae

Bengt Gustafsson, Rurik Wahlin

The determinations of element abundances in red-giant stars and in particular in AGB stars are reviewed and the resulting abundances are compared with those obtained for planetary…

Carbon stars in local group dwarf galaxies: C and O abundances

R. Wahlin, K. Eriksson, B. Gustafsson +4

We present abundances of carbon and oxygen as well as abundance ratios 12C/13C for a sample of carbon stars in the LMC, SMC, Carina, Sculptor and Fornax dwarf galaxies. The overall…

X-RED: A Satellite Mission Concept To Detect Early Universe Gamma Ray Bursts

Mirko Krumpe, Deirdre Coffey, Georg Egger +14

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic eruptions known in the Universe. Instruments such as Compton-GRO/BATSE and the GRB monitor on BeppoSAX have detected more than 2700 G…
