AGB Stars and Their Circumstellar Envelopes: An Operative Approach to Computing Their Atmospheres
The study of AGB stars necessarily covers a wide range of topics, from the primary astronomical observations to their interpretation in terms of fundamental physics.

The photodissociation of CO in circumstellar envelopes
The CO photodissociation rate for the unshielded ISM is calculated using recent laboratory results which confirm that photodissociation occurs by way of line absorption. A value of 2.0 x 10 to the -10th/s, an order of magnitude higher than the rate used in the past, is obtained.

n-Alkanes formed by methyl-methylene addition as a source of meteoritic aliphatics [PDF]
Aliphatics prevail in asteroids, comets, meteorites and other bodies in our solar system. They are also found in the interstellar and circumstellar media both in gas-phase and in dust grains.

On the Presence of Metallofullerenes in Fullerene-rich Circumstellar Envelopes
The presence of neutral C _60 fullerenes in circumstellar environments has been firmly established by astronomical observations as well as laboratory experiments and quantum-chemistry calculations. However, the large variations observed in the C _60 17.4

The Chemistry of Cool Circumstellar Envelopes [PDF]
We have developed a time-dependent chemical kinetic model to describe the chemistry in the circumstellar envelopes of cool stars, with particular reference to IRC + 10216. Our detailed calculations show that ion-molecule reactions are important in the formation of many of the species observed in IRC + 10216.

Circumstellar Molecular Envelopes [PDF]
The results of C17O and C18O observations of low luminosity young stars are discussed and the derived properties of the circumstellar molecular envelopes described. Much of the circumstellar material is quiescent and cold. The youngest sources have envelopes which contain up to ∼ 0.3 M⊙ of material within 3000–4000 AU of the central star. From a survey

AGB Stars and Their Circumstellar Envelopes. I. the VULCAN Code
The interplay between AGB interiors and their outermost layers, where molecules and dust form, is a problem of high complexity. As a consequence, physical processes like mass loss, which depend on the chemistry of the circumstellar envelope, are often ...

Phosphorus in circumstellar envelopes [PDF]
ABSTRA C T We have investigated the chemistry of phosphorus-bearing compounds in the circumstellar envelopes of both oxygen-rich and carbon-rich evolved stars. In accordance with thermodynamic calculations of photospheric chemistry, we have assumed that the dominant forms of phosphorus in the inner circumstellar envelope (CSE) are PS and HCP in each ...
