Synthetic photometry for carbon-rich giants II. The effects of pulsation and circumstellar dust
Walter Nowotny, Bernhard Aringer, Susanne Höfner +1
By using self-consistent dynamic model atmospheres which simulate pulsation-enhanced dust-driven winds of AGB stars we studied in detail the influence of (i) pulsations of the stel…

Dust in AGB stars: transparent or opaque?
Sara Bladh, Susanne Höfner, Bernhard Aringer
It is commonly believed that winds of cool giants in their late evolutionary stages are driven by radiative pressure on dust grains, but the actual grain species responsible for dr…

Starlight and Sandstorms: Mass Loss Mechanisms on the AGB
Susanne Höfner
There are strong observational indications that the dense slow winds of cool luminous AGB stars are driven by radiative pressure on dust grains which form in the extended atmospher…
