The VLTI/MIDI view on the inner mass loss of evolved stars from the Herschel MESS sample
C. Paladini, D. Klotz, S. Sacuto +12
The mass-loss process from evolved stars is a key ingredient for our understanding of many fields of astrophysics, including stellar evolution and the chemical enrichment of the in…

Identifying the chemistry of the dust around AGB stars in nearby galaxies
Sundar Srinivasan, Franciska Kemper, Ronny Zhao-Geisler
Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are significant contributors to the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. It is therefore essential to constrain the…

The interstellar dust reservoir: SPICA's view on dust production and the interstellar medium in galaxies
F. Kemper, R. Zhao-Geisler, O. C. Jones +1
Typical galaxies emit about one third of their energy in the infrared. The origin of this emission reprocessed starlight absorbed by interstellar dust grains and reradiated as ther…
