Sense and Sensitivity - I. Uncertainty analysis of the gas-phase chemistry in AGB outflows
M. Van de Sande, M. Gueguen, T. Danilovich +1
Chemical reaction networks are central to all chemical models. Each rate coefficient has an associated uncertainty, which is generally not taken into account when calculating the c…
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…
An accreting dwarf star orbiting the S-type giant star pi1 Gru
M. Montargès, J. Malfait, M. Esseldeurs +20
Aims. We aim to characterize the properties of the inner companion of the S-type AGB star pi1 Gru and to identify plausible future evolutionary scenarios for this triple system. Me…
Charting circumstellar chemistry of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars. II. Abundances and spatial distributions of CS
R. Unnikrishnan, M. Andriantsaralaza, E. De Beck +9
The circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars harbour a rich variety of molecules and are sites of complex chemistry. Our current understanding of the c…
