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…
Dust composition and mass-loss return from the luminous blue variable R71 in the LMC
S. Guha Niyogi, M. Min, M. Meixner +3
We present an analysis of mid-and far-infrared (IR) spectrum and spectral energy distribution (SED) of the LBV R71 in the LMC.This work aims to understand the overall contribution…
Why circumstellar disks are so faint in scattered light: The case of HD 100546
Gijs D. Mulders, Michiel Min, Carsten Dominik +2
Scattered light images of circumstellar disks play an important role in characterizing the planet forming environments around young stars. The characteristic size of the scattering…
Low abundance, strong features: Window-dressing crystalline forsterite in the disk wall of HD 100546
G. D. Mulders, L. B. F. M. Waters, C. Dominik +10
Forsterite is one of the crystalline dust species that is often observed in protoplanetary disks and solar system comets. Being absent in the interstellar medium, it must be produc…
Analysis of the infrared spectra of the peculiar post-AGB stars EPLyr and HD52961
C. Gielen, H. Van Winckel, M. Matsuura +4
Aim: We aim to study in detail the peculiar mineralogy and structure of the circumstellar environment of two binary post-AGB stars, EPLyr and HD52961. Both stars were selected from…
Benchmark problems for continuum radiative transfer. High optical depths, anisotropic scattering, and polarisation
C. Pinte, T. J. Harries, M. Min +5
Solving the continuum radiative transfer equation in high opacity media requires sophisticated numerical tools. In order to test the reliability of such tools, we present a benchma…
