ALMA high resolution observations of Betelgeuse: Persistent structure spanning the inner atmosphere

W. R. F. Dent, A. M. S. Richards, G. M. Harper +2

The extended atmosphere of red supergiants (RSGs) forms an important link in the process of mass loss and the subsequent enrichment of the interstellar medium. Large-scale convecti…

New Spatially Resolved Observations of Betelgeuse from the VLA and ALMA: Evidence for Atmospheric Perturbations from a Close Companion

L. D. Matthews, A. K. Dupree, A. M. S. Richards +1

We present new spatially resolved observations of the red supergiant Betelgeuse ( Orionis) at seven frequencies: 22 GHz (1.36cm); 44 GHz (6.8mm); 107 GHz (2.8mm); 136 G…

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…

Molecules and Chemistry in Red Supergiants

Lucy M. Ziurys, Anita M. S. Richards

The envelopes of Red Supergiants (RSGs) have a unique chemical environment not seen in other types of stars. They foster an oxygen-rich synthesis but are tempered by sporadic and c…

The Infrared-Bright SW Knots in the Complex Ejecta of VY CMa

Roberta M. Humphreys, Terry J. Jones, Kris Davidson +4

The red hypergiant VY CMa is remarkable for its very visible record of high mass loss events observed over the range of wavelengths from the optical and infrared to the submillimet…

Detection of Rydberg lines from the atmosphere of Betelgeuse

W. R. F. Dent, G. Harper, A. M. S. Richards +2

Emission lines from Rydberg transitions are detected for the first time from a region close to the surface of Betelgeuse. The H30 line is observed at 231.905 GHz, with a FWHM ~4…
