The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey III: First data release of JCMT CO-line observations
S. H. J. Wallström, P. Scicluna, S. Srinivasan +37
Low- to intermediate-mass (0.88 M) evolved stars contribute significantly to the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium in the local Universe, making accur…
Discovery of SiC and Iron Dust Around AGB Stars in the very Metal-Poor Sextans A Dwarf Galaxy with JWST: Implications for Dust Production at High Redshift
M. L. Boyer, G. C. Sloan, A. Nanni +23
Low-resolution infrared spectroscopy from JWST confirms the presence of SiC and likely metallic iron dust around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Sextans A dwarf galaxy,…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) V: properties of volume-limited samples of Galactic evolved stars
I. McDonald, S. Srinivasan, P. Scicluna +23
We provide a meta-study of the statistical and individual properties of two volume-complete sets of evolved stars in the Solar Neighbourhood: (1) 852 stars from the Nearby Evolved…
Equatorial Enhancement in the Dustiest OH/IR Stars in the Galactic Bulge
Steven R. Goldman, Jacco Th. van Loon, Olivia C. Jones +2
We have detected the 10 um silicate feature and the 11.3 um crystalline forsterite feature in absorption in 21 oxygen-rich AGB stars in the Galactic Bulge. The depths of the 10 um…
