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…

High-angular-resolution ALMA imaging of the inhomogeneous dynamical atmosphere of the asymptotic giant branch star W Hya
K. Ohnaka, K. T. Wong, G. Weigelt +1
We present high-angular-resolution imaging of the asymptotic giant branch star W Hya with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the dynamics and chemistr…

Imaging the innermost circumstellar environment of the red supergiant WOH G64 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
K. Ohnaka, K. -H. Hofmann, G. Weigelt +3
Significant mass loss in the red supergiant (RSG) phase has great influence on the evolution of massive stars and their final fate as supernovae. We present near-infrared interfero…
