Properties of the Variation of the Infrared Emission of OH/IR Stars III. The M Band Light Curves [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2010 To study properties of the pulsation in the infrared emission for long period variables, we have collected and analyzed the infrared observational data at M band for 12 OH/IR stars.

Trojan Horse Investigation for AGB Stellar Nucleosynthesis
Universe, 2022 Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are among the most important astrophysical sites influencing the nucleosynthesis and the chemical abundances in the Universe. From a pure nuclear point of view, several processes take part during this peculiar stage of

Isotopic Enrichment of Planetary Systems from Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Short-lived radioisotopes, in particular ^26 Al and ^60 Fe, are thought to contribute to the internal heating of the Earth, but are significantly more abundant in the solar system compared to the interstellar medium.

EVOLUTION OF THERMALLY PULSING ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS. V. CONSTRAINING THE MASS LOSS AND LIFETIMES OF INTERMEDIATE-MASS, LOW-METALLICITY AGB STARS [PDF]
, 2016 Thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars are relatively short lived (less than a few Myr), yet their cool effective temperatures, high luminosities, efficient mass loss, and dust production can dramatically affect the chemical enrichment ...

A Distance Measurement to M33 Using Optical Photometry of Mira Variables
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present a systematic analysis to determine and improve the pulsation periods of 1637 known long-period Mira variables in M33 using gri -band light curves spanning ∼18 yr from several surveys, including the M33 variability survey, Panoramic Survey ...

The shock-heated atmosphere of an asymptotic giant branch star resolved by ALMA [PDF]
, 2017 Our current understanding of the chemistry and mass-loss processes in Sun-like stars at the end of their evolution depends critically on the description of convection, pulsations and shocks in the extended stellar atmosphere1.

The puzzle of the CNO isotope ratios in asymptotic giant branch carbon stars [PDF]
, 2016 Context. The abundance ratios of the main isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are modified by the CNO-cycle in the stellar interiors. When the different dredge-up events mix the burning material with the envelope, valuable information on the ...
