  1. 6. Studies of the S-type AGB star W Aquilae : The circumstellar envelope and the fain companion

    Författare :Taissa Danilovich; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stars: binaries: spectroscopic; circumstellar matter; stars: binaries: visual; stars: evolution; stars: mass-loss; stars: AGB and post-AGB; stars: individual: W Aql;

    Sammanfattning : Low- and intermediate-mass stars will all eventually enter the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. AGB stars experience intense mass-loss, generating a significant fraction of the dust and molecular matter that enrichesthe ISM. AGB stars are also responsible for a the production of about half of all elements heavier than iron. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Charting Circumstellar Chemistry of Carbon-rich AGB Stars

    Författare :Ramlal Unnikrishnan Nair; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; submillimeter: stars; astrochemistry; stars: mass-loss; circumstellar matter; stars: winds; outflows; Stars: AGB and post-AGB;

    Sammanfattning : Stars of low to intermediate initial masses (0.8 - 8 M⊙) enter the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase during their late evolution. LÄS MER

  4. 8. A Study of Grain Drift in C Stars : Theoretical Modeling of Dust-Driven Winds in Carbon-Rich Pulsating Giant Stars

    Författare :Christer Sandin; Susanne Höfner; Bengt Gustafsson; Lee Anne Willson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; hydrodynamics; radiative transfer; instabilities; dust formation; stars: AGB and post-AGB; stars: mass-loss; stars: variables: general; Astronomi; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik; Theoretical Astrophysics; teoretisk astrofysik;

    Sammanfattning : A major fraction of stars will pass through a short period of dramatic events in their final evolutionary stage. Low- to intermediate-mass stars, studied here, are stripped of their outer parts in a slow massive wind. This mass loss reshapes both the star and the surrounding medium. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Asymptotic Giant Branch stars viewed up-close and far-off : The physics, chemistry, and evolution of their circumstellar envelopes

    Författare :Matthias Maercker; Hans Olofsson; Fredrik L. Schöier; Laurentius B. F. M. Waters; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AGB stars; evolution; mass-loss; abundances; Astronomy; Astronomi; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Sammanfattning : The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is the last stage of stellar evolution for stars with masses between 0.8-8 M(sun). This phase is characterised by an intense mass loss, which builds up a circumstellar envelope of dust and gas(CSE). It is through this process that the AGB stars contribute to the chemical evolution of galaxies. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Infrared spectroscopic investigations of stellar winds from red giants

    Författare :Nils Ryde; Uppsala universitet; []
