Very Large Telescope three micron spectra of dust-enshrouded red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Jacco Th. van Loon, Jonathan R. Marshall, Martin Cohen +4
We present ESO/VLT spectra in the 2.9--4.1 micron range for a large sample of infrared stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), selected on the basis of MSX and 2MASS colours to…
Dust-enshrouded giants in clusters in the Magellanic Clouds
Jacco Th. van Loon, Jonathan R. Marshall, Albert A. Zijlstra
We present the results of an investigation of post-Main Sequence mass loss from stars in clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, based around an imaging survey in the L'-band (3.8 micro…
Three-micron spectra of AGB stars and supergiants in nearby galaxies
M. Matsuura, A. A. Zijlstra, J. Th. van Loon +7
The dependence of stellar molecular bands on the metallicity is studied using infrared L-band spectra of AGB stars (both carbon-rich and oxygen-rich) and M-type supergiants in the…
The superwind mass-loss rate of the metal-poor carbon star LI-LMC 1813 in the LMC cluster KMHK 1603
Jacco Th. van Loon, Jonathan R. Marshall, Mikako Matsuura +1
LI-LMC 1813 is a dust-enshrouded Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star, located in the small open cluster KMHK 1603 near the rim of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Optical and infra…
