ATOMIUM: Inner circumstellar envelopes of oxygen-rich AGB stars as revealed by highly excited SiO lines
B. Pimpanuwat, S. Etoka, M. D. Gray +14
Silicon monoxide (SiO) traces the physical conditions and dynamics in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of AGB stars. We present high-resolution ALMA Band 6 observations of highly…
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…
The pre-eruption state of T CrB as observed with ALMA in 2024
D. Petry, G. Sala, I. El Mellah +2
T CrB is a nearby symbiotic binary and a recurrent nova with a period of ca. 80 years. The next eruption is expected to take place in 2025 or 2026. We present our pre-eruption obse…
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…
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…
ATOMIUM: Molecular inventory of 17 oxygen-rich evolved stars observed with ALMA
S. H. J. Wallstrom, T. Danilovich, H. S. P. Muller +35
The dusty winds of cool evolved stars are a major contributor of the newly synthesised material enriching the Galaxy and future generations of stars. However, the details of the ph…
The VLT/SPHERE view of the ATOMIUM cool evolved star sample. I. Overview: Sample characterization through polarization analysis
M. Montargès, E. Cannon, A. de Koter +32
Aims. Through the ATOMIUM project, based on an ALMA large program, we aim to present a consistent view of a sample of 17 nearby cool evolved stars (Aymptotic Giant Branch and red s…
First 3D Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Wolf-Rayet Winds
N. Moens, L. G. Poniatowski, L. Hennicker +3
Classical Wolf Rayet (WR) stars are direct supernova progenitors undergoing vigorous mass-loss. Understanding the dense and fast outflows of such WR stars is thus crucial for under…
ATOMIUM: ALMA tracing the origins of molecules in dust forming oxygen rich M-type stars: Motivation, sample, calibration, and initial results
C. A. Gottlieb, L. Decin, A. M. S. Richards +33
This overview paper presents ATOMIUM, a Large Programme in Cycle 6 with the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA). The goal of ATOMIUM is to understand the dynamics a…
Binary-object spectral-synthesis in 3D (BOSS-3D) -- Modelling H-alpha emission in the enigmatic multiple system LB-1
L. Hennicker, N. D. Kee, T. Shenar +5
Context: To quantitatively decode the information stored within an observed spectrum, detailed modelling of the physical state and accurate radiative transfer solution schemes are…
Atomium: The astounding complexity of the near circumstellar environment of the M-type AGB star R Hydrae. I. Morpho-kinematical interpretation of CO and SiO emission
Ward Homan, Bannawit Pimpanuwat, Fabrice Herpin +36
Evolved low- to intermediate-mass stars are known to shed their gaseous envelope into a large, dusty, molecule-rich circumstellar nebula which typically develops a high degree of s…
Atomium: A high-resolution view on the highly asymmetric wind of the AGB star Pi1 Gruis. I. First detection of a new companion and its effect on the inner wind
Ward Homan, Miguel Montarges, Bannawit Pimpanuwat +35
The nebular circumstellar environments of cool evolved stars are known to harbour a rich morphological complexity of gaseous structures on different length scales. A large part of…
(Sub)stellar companions shape the winds of evolved stars
L. Decin, M. Montargès, A. M. S. Richards +32
Binary interactions dominate the evolution of massive stars, but their role is less clear for low- and intermediate-mass stars. The evolution of a spherical wind from an asymptotic…
MPI-AMRVAC 2.0 for Solar and Astrophysical Applications
C. Xia, J. Teunissen, I. El Mellah +2
We report on the development of MPI-AMRVAC version 2.0, which is an open-source framework for parallel, grid-adaptive simulations of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) astr…
Triple-Star Candidates Among the Kepler Binaries
S. Rappaport, K. Deck, A. Levine +5
We present the results of a search through the photometric database of eclipsing Kepler binaries (Prsa et al. 2011; Slawson et al. 2011) looking for evidence of hierarchical triple…
