H2O vapor excitation in dusty AGB envelopes. A PACS view of OH 127.8+0.0
R. Lombaert, L. Decin, A. de Koter +6
Context: AGB stars lose a large percentage of their mass in a dust-driven wind. This creates a circumstellar envelope, which can be studied through thermal dust emission and molecu…

Simplified models of stellar wind anatomy for interpreting high-resolution data: Analytical approach to embedded spiral geometries
Ward Homan, Leen Decin, Alex de Koter +3
Recent high-resolution observations have shown stellar winds to harbour complexities which strongly deviate from spherical symmetry, generally assumed as standard wind model. One s…

Micron-sized forsterite grains in the pre-planetary nebula of IRAS 17150-3224 - Searching for clues on the mysterious evolution of massive AGB stars
B. L. de Vries, K. M. Maaskant, M. Min +3
We study the grain properties and location of the forsterite crystals in the circumstellar environment of the pre-planetary nebula (PPN) IRAS 17150-3224 in order to learn more abou…
