Bridging stellar evolution and planet formation: from birth, to survivors of the fittest, to the second generation of planets
Akke Corporaal, Toon De Prins, Léa Planquart +10
Stars and planets form, live, and evolve in unison. Throughout the life of a star, dusty circumstellar discs and stellar outflows influence the further evolution of both the star(s…
X TrA through the eyes of MATISSE: More evidence of clumpy molecular layers around C-type asymptotic giant branch stars
V. RÄstÄu, C. Paladini, J. Drevon +22
Aims. The goal of this study is to further the understanding of the wind formation mechanism in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars through the analysis of the close environment (w…
Circumbinary disc interactions and stochastic dust obscuration in the post-asymptotic-giant-branch binary HD 213985
Krystian Ilkiewicz, Lea Planquart, Tomek Kaminski +1
HD 213985 is an eccentric binary system with a post-AGB primary and a jet-launching secondary star. We confirm that the system photometric variability is likely due to obscuration…
Resolving the mass transfer in the symbiotic recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis
L. Planquart, A. Jorissen, H. Van Winckel
T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is a symbiotic recurrent nova with an 80-year recurrence interval whose next eruption is imminent. We aim to resolve the accretion mechanism of the binar…
