Dust-forming molecules in VY Canis Majoris (and Betelgeuse)
T. Kaminski, C. A. Gottlieb, M. R. Schmidt +7
The formation of inorganic dust in circumstellar environments of evolved stars is poorly understood. Spectra of molecules thought to be most important for the nucleation, i.e. AlO,…
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…
An Interferometric Spectral-line Survey of IRC+10216 in the 345 GHz Band
Nimesh A. Patel, Ken H. Young, Carl A. Gottlieb +10
We report a spectral-line survey of the extreme carbon star IRC+10216 carried out between 293.9 and 354.8 GHz with the Submillimeter Array. A total of 442 lines were detected, more…
Circumstellar molecular composition of the oxygen-rich AGB star IK~Tau: II. In-depth non-LTE chemical abundance analysis
L. Decin, E. De Beck, S. Brunken +6
Aims: Little information exists on the circumstellar molecular abundance stratifications of many molecules. The aim is to study the circumstellar chemical abundance pattern of 11 m…
