ATOMIUM: Inner circumstellar envelopes of oxygen-rich AGB stars as revealed by highly excited SiO lines

B. Pimpanuwat, S. Etoka, M. D. Gray +14

Silicon monoxide (SiO) traces the physical conditions and dynamics in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of AGB stars. We present high-resolution ALMA Band 6 observations of highly…

Evidence for the Keplerian orbit of a close companion around a giant star

Mats Esseldeurs, Leen Decin, Joris De Ridder +31

Close companions influence stellar evolution through tidal interactions, mass transfer, and mass loss effects. While such companions are detected around young stellar objects, main…

ATOMIUM: Continuum emission and evidence of dust enhancement from binary motion

T. Danilovich, N. Samaratunge, Y. Mori +35

Low- and intermediate-mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) account for a significant portion of the dust and chemical enrichment in their host galaxy. Here we present AL…

Chemical tracers of a highly eccentric AGB-main sequence star binary

T. Danilovich, J. Malfait, M. Van de Sande +32

Binary interactions have been proposed to explain a variety of circumstellar structures seen around evolved stars, including asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and planetary nebul…

A far-ultraviolet-driven photoevaporation flow observed in a protoplanetary disk

Olivier Berné, Emilie Habart, Els Peeters +143

Most low-mass stars form in stellar clusters that also contain massive stars, which are sources of far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation. Theoretical models predict that this FUV radiati…

ATOMIUM: Molecular inventory of 17 oxygen-rich evolved stars observed with ALMA

S. H. J. Wallstrom, T. Danilovich, H. S. P. Muller +35

The dusty winds of cool evolved stars are a major contributor of the newly synthesised material enriching the Galaxy and future generations of stars. However, the details of the ph…

PDRs4All II: JWST's NIR and MIR imaging view of the Orion Nebula

Emilie Habart, Els Peeters, Olivier Berné +139

The JWST has captured the most detailed and sharpest infrared images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star formation region, and a prototypic…

ATOMIUM: Halide molecules around the S-type AGB star W Aquilae

T. Danilovich, M. Van de Sande, J. M. C. Plane +36

S-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are thought to be intermediates in the evolution of oxygen- to carbon-rich AGB stars. The chemical compositions of their circumstellar en…

Atomium: The astounding complexity of the near circumstellar environment of the M-type AGB star R Hydrae. I. Morpho-kinematical interpretation of CO and SiO emission

Ward Homan, Bannawit Pimpanuwat, Fabrice Herpin +36

Evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars are known to shed their gaseous envelope into a large, dusty, molecule-rich circumstellar nebula which typically develops a high degree of s…

Atomium: A high-resolution view on the highly asymmetric wind of the AGB star Pi1 Gruis. I. First detection of a new companion and its effect on the inner wind

Ward Homan, Miguel Montarges, Bannawit Pimpanuwat +35

The nebular circumstellar environments of cool evolved stars are known to harbour a rich morphological complexity of gaseous structures on different length scales. A large part of…

Constraints on metal oxide and metal hydroxide abundances in the winds of AGB stars - Potential detection of FeO in R Dor

L. Decin, T. Danilovich, D. Gobrecht +4

Using ALMA, we observed the stellar wind of two oxygen-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, IK Tau and R Dor, between 335 and 362 GHz. One aim was to detect metal oxides and m…

Discovery of SiCSi in IRC+10216: A missing link between gas and dust carriers of SiC bonds

J. Cernicharo, M. C. McCarthy, C. A. Gottlieb +13

We report the discovery in space of a disilicon species, SiCSi, from observations between 80 and 350 GHz with the IRAM 30m radio telescope. Owing to the close coordination between…

An Interferometric Spectral-Line and Imaging Survey of VY Canis Majoris in the 345 GHz Band

T. Kaminski, C. A. Gottlieb, K. H. Young +2

A spectral line survey of the oxygen-rich red supergiant VY Canis Majoris was made between 279 and 355 GHz with the Submillimeter Array. Two hundred twenty three spectral features…

PO and PN in the wind of the oxygen-rich AGB star IK Tau

E. De Beck, T. Kamiński, N. A. Patel +4

Phosphorus-bearing compounds have only been studied in the circumstellar environments (CSEs) of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC +10216 and the protoplanetary nebula CRL…

Pure rotational spectra of TiO and TiO_2 in VY Canis Majoris

T. Kaminski, C. A. Gottlieb, K. M. Menten +7

We report the first detection of pure rotational transitions of TiO and TiO_2 at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths towards the red supergiant VY CMa. A rotational temperature, T_rot, of…
