Temporal Changes in the Infrared Spectra of Magellanic Carbon Stars

G. C. Sloan, K. E. Kraemer, B. Aringer +9

The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer on the Mid-Infrared Instrument on JWST obtained spectra of three carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Two of the spectra differ significan…

VLTI-PIONIER imaging of the red supergiant V602 Carinae

J. B. Climent, M. Wittkowski, A. Chiavassa +7

Context. Red supergiant stars possess surface features and extended molecular atmospheres. Photospheric convection may be a crucial factor of the levitation of the outer atmospheri…

Astro2020 Science White Paper: The fundamentals of outflows from evolved stars

E. De Beck, M. L. Boyer, V. Bujarrabal +16

Models of the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium, galaxies, and the Universe rely on our understanding of the amounts and chemical composition of the material returned b…

Atmospheres and wind properties of non-spherical AGB stars

S. Liljegren, S. Höfner, B. Freytag +1

The wind-driving mechanism of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars is commonly attributed to a two-step process: first, gas in the stellar atmosphere is levitated by shockwaves caus…

VLTI-GRAVITY measurements of cool evolved stars: I. Variable photosphere and extended atmosphere of the Mira star R Peg

M. Wittkowski, G. Rau, A. Chiavassa +7

Dynamic model atmospheres of Mira stars predict variabilities in the photospheric radius and in atmospheric molecular layers which are not yet strongly constrained by observations.…

Tomography of silicate dust around M-type AGB stars I. Diagnostics based on dynamical models

S. Bladh, C. Paladini, S. Höfner +1

The heavy mass loss observed in evolved asymptotic giant branch stars is usually attributed to a two-step process: atmospheric levitation by pulsation-induced shock waves, followed…
