Studying Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in the JWST Era
Universe, 2020 We explore the potential offered by the incoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, to study the stars evolving through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. To this aim we compare data of AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, taken with the

Mass Losing Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars And Supergiants
, 2016 This paper presents a summary of four invited and twelve contributed presentations on asymptotic giant branch stars and red supergiants, given over the course of two afternoon splinter sessions at the 19th Cool Stars Workshop. It highlights both recent observations and recent theory, with some emphasis on high spatial resolution, over a wide range of ...

Magnetic Flares on Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 We investigate the consequences of magnetic flares on the surface of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and similar stars. In contrast to the solar wind, in the winds of AGB stars the gas cooling time is much shorter than the outflow time. As a result, we predict that energetic flaring will not inhibit, and may even enhance, dust formation around AGB stars.

Model Dust Envelopes for Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. I. OH/IR Stars [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1995 OH/IR stars are the most massive and youngest subclass in asymptotic giant branch stars which pass through sporadic superwind phases. We have modeled the dust envelopes around OH/IR stars with close attention to the evolution of the structure of the dust

The Galactic distribution of asymptotic giant branch stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We study the Galactic distribution of ~10,000 Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars selected by IRAS colors and variability index. The distance to each star is estimated by assuming a narrow luminosity function and a model-derived bolometric correction.

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 ...

Quantifying Uncertainties on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 mag of red giant branch (RGB) stars leading ...

THE INTERACTION OF ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS WITH THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 We study the hydrodynamical behavior of the gas expelled by moving Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars interacting with the ISM. Our models follow the wind modulations prescribed by stellar evolution calculations, and we cover a range of expected relative velocities (10 to 100 km/s), ISM densities (between 0.01 and 1 cm-3), and stellar progenitor masses (1 ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Among presolar grains, oxide ones are made of oxygen, aluminum, and a small fraction of magnesium, produced by the 26Al decay. The largest part of presolar oxide grains belong to the so-called group 1 and 2, which have been suggested to form in Red Giant
