Dynamic atmosphere and wind models of C-type asymptotic giant branch stars. Influences of dust optical data on mass loss and observables

Emelie Siderud, Kjell Eriksson, Susanne Höfner +1

Mass loss through stellar winds governs the evolution of stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). In the case of carbon-rich AGB stars, the wind is believed to be driven by radi…

Dynamic atmospheres and winds of cool luminous giants, II. Gradual Fe enrichment of wind-driving silicate grains

Susanne Höfner, Sara Bladh, Bernhard Aringer +1

The winds observed around AGB stars are generally attributed to radiation pressure on dust formed in the dynamical atmospheres of these long-period variables. The composition of wi…

Constraining the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase with resolved stellar populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Giada Pastorelli, Paola Marigo, Léo Girardi +18

Reliable models of the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase are of critical importance across astrophysics, including our interpretation of the spectral energy…

Carbon star formation as seen through the non-monotonic initial-final mass relation

Paola Marigo, Jeffrey D. Cummings, Jason Lee Curtis +13

The initial-final mass relation (IFMR) links the birth mass of a star to the mass of the compact remnant left at its death. While the relevance of the IFMR across astrophysics is u…

An extensive grid of DARWIN models for M-type AGB stars I. Mass-loss rates and other properties of dust-driven winds

S. Bladh, S. Liljegren, S. Höfner +2

The purpose of this work is to present an extensive grid of dynamical atmosphere and wind models for M-type AGB stars, covering a wide range of relevant stellar parameters. We used…

Cool, evolved stars: results, challenges, and promises for the next decade

Gioia Rau, Rodolfo Montez, Kenneth G. Carpenter +27

Cool, evolved stars are the main source of chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium (ISM), and understanding their mass loss and structure offers a unique opportunity to stud…
