The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In previous work, we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs; red supergiants with a neutron star cores) or super ...

Magnetic and non-magnetic AGB mixing for s-processing [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 I outline a few features of recent models for the formation of the neutron source 13C(α,n)16O in low mass stars (1 ≲ M/M⊙ ≲ 3, LMS ) ascendingfor the second time the Red Giant Branch, generally called Asymptotic Giant Branch, or AGB stars. I also briefly

High mass-loss asymptotic giant branch stars detected by the Midcourse Space Experiment in the 'intermediate' and 'outer' Galactic bulge [PDF]
, 2007 We present a study of Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) point sources in the Galactic bulge (|l| < 3°, 1° < |b| < 5°), observed in the A, C, D and E bands (8–21μm), with a total area ∼48 deg2 and more than 7000 detected sources in the MSXD band ...

STARDUST FROM ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 The formation of dust in the outflows of low- and intermediate-mass stars on the first giant branch and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is studied and the relative contributions of stars of different initial masses and metallicities to the interstellar medium (ISM) at the instant of solar system formation are derived.

Asymptotic giant branch stars in the Phoenix dwarf galaxy [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008 JHKs near-infrared photometry of stars in the Phoenix dwarf galaxy is presented and discussed. Combining these data with the optical photometry of Massey et al. allows a rather clean separation of field stars from Phoenix members. The discovery of a Mira variable (P = 425 days), which is almost certainly a carbon star, leads to an estimate of the ...

The Search for Binaries in Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars: Do Binary Companions Shape the Nebulae? [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012 Binary companions are often invoked to explain the axial and point symmetry seen in the majority of planetary nebulae and proto-planetary nebulae (PPNs).

Planetary Engulfment Prognosis within the ρ CrB System
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Exoplanets have been detected around stars at various stages of their lives, ranging from young stars emerging from formation to the latter stages of evolution, including white dwarfs and neutron stars.
