VLTI-GRAVITY measurements of cool evolved stars: II. Pulsation properties and mass-loss process of the Mira star R Car and the red supergiant VX Sgr
D. Jadlovský, M. Wittkowski, A. Chiavassa +9
The mass-loss process of red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and its relation to variability are poorly constrained. We study two evolved stars, the Mira-t…
X TrA through the eyes of MATISSE: More evidence of clumpy molecular layers around C-type asymptotic giant branch stars
V. RÄstÄu, C. Paladini, J. Drevon +22
Aims. The goal of this study is to further the understanding of the wind formation mechanism in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars through the analysis of the close environment (w…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey III: First data release of JCMT CO-line observations
S. H. J. Wallström, P. Scicluna, S. Srinivasan +37
Low- to intermediate-mass (0.88 M) evolved stars contribute significantly to the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium in the local Universe, making accur…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) V: properties of volume-limited samples of Galactic evolved stars
I. McDonald, S. Srinivasan, P. Scicluna +23
We provide a meta-study of the statistical and individual properties of two volume-complete sets of evolved stars in the Solar Neighbourhood: (1) 852 stars from the Nearby Evolved…
Observations and Radiative Transfer Simulations of the Carbon-rich AGB star V Oph with VLTI/MATISSE
Jon Hulberg, Gioia Rau, Markus Wittkowski
Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are among the most important contributors of enriched materials to the interstellar medium due to their strong stellar winds. To ful…
