Study of CS, SiO, and SiS abundances in carbon star envelopes: Assessing their role as gas-phase precursors of dust. [PDF]
Aims We aim to determine the abundances of CS, SiO, and SiS in a large sample of carbon star envelopes covering a wide range of mass loss rates to investigate the potential role that these molecules could play in the formation of dust in the surroundings

The Abundance of SiC<sub>2</sub> in Carbon Star Envelopes: Evidence that SiC<sub>2</sub> is a gas-phase precursor of SiC dust. [PDF]
Context Silicon carbide dust is ubiquitous in circumstellar envelopes around C-rich AGB stars. However, the main gas-phase precursors leading to the formation of SiC dust have not yet been identified.

THE PTI CARBON STAR ANGULAR SIZE SURVEY: EFFECTIVE TEMPERATURES AND NON-SPHERICITY [PDF]
We report new interferometric angular diameter observations of 41 carbon stars observed with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer. Two of these stars are CH carbon stars and represent the first such measurements of this subtype. Of these, 39 have Yamashita

The carbon star mystery: 40 years later [PDF]
In 1981 Icko Iben Jr published a paper entitled “The carbon star mystery: why do the low mass ones become such, and where have all the high mass ones gone?”, where he discussed the discrepancy between the theoretical expectation and its observational ...

DETECTION OF PHOSPHORUS, SULPHUR, AND ZINC IN THE CARBON-ENHANCED METAL-POOR STAR BD+44 493* [PDF]
The carbon-enhanced metal-poor star BD+44 493 ([Fe/H]=-3.9) has been proposed as a candidate second-generation star enriched by metals from a single Pop III star.

High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Cool Carbon-Rich and Metal-Poor Star HD 209621 [PDF]
Element abundances for HD 209621 obtained earlier display significant discrepancies, especially in the case of CNO and neutron-capture elements. Therefore we performed a detailed analysis of chemical composition of this star using a new high-resolution ...

Energy aware resource management in 6G IoT networks using STAR RIS [PDF]
The massive IoT sensors, edge devices, software systems and the communication networks require a lot of computing resources for real-time data acquisition and analytics. This puts huge burden on the carbon footprint and energy consumption.

Carbon star survey in the Local Group. VII. NGC 3109 a galaxy without a stellar halo [PDF]
We present a CFH12K wide field survey of the carbon star population in and around NGC 3109. Carbon stars, the brightest members of the intermediate-age population, were found nearly exclusively in and near the disk of NGC 3109, ruling out the existence ...

The size, luminosity, and motion of the extreme carbon star IRC+10216 (CW Leonis) [PDF]
Very Large Array observations of the extreme carbon star IRC+10216 at 7 mm wavelength with 40 milli-arcsec resolution resolve the object’s radio emission, which forms an almost round uniform disk of 83 milli-arcsec diameter, corresponding to 11 AU (for ...
