Properties of Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in the LMC and the Milky Way

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a comparative study of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (CAGB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC; 7347 stars) and the Milky Way (7163 stars) using infrared color–magnitude diagrams, spectral energy distributions (SEDs), two-color ...

Red and Yellow Hypergiants

open access: yesGalaxies
The red and yellow hypergiants are a rare and important phase in the evolution of the most massive stars that can reach the cool part of the HR Diagram.

Systematic Search for Water Fountain Candidates Using the Databases of Circumstellar Maser Sources

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Water fountains (WFs) are thought to be objects in the morphological evolution of the circumstellar envelopes of low- and intermediate-mass evolved stars, transitioning from spherically symmetric to asymmetric shapes.

Al-26 and circumstellar envelopes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1995
The effects of the radioactive decay of Al-26 on the circumstellar envelopes of asymptotic giant branch stars are analyzed. The gamma-rays emitted by the product nucleus Mg-26 escape most envelopes, but the beta-decay positrons are stopped and can ionize and heat the gas.

PAH formation in carbon-rich circumstellar envelopes

open access: yes, 1989
While there is growing observational evidence that some fraction of interstellar carbon is in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's), the mechanisms by which these molecules might be formed have not been extensively studied. A detailed investigation of

Type IIb Supernova Progenitors in 3D: Variability and Episodic Mass Loss Revealed by Radiation Hydrodynamics Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the first 3D radiation hydrodynamics simulations of partially stripped ( ${M}_{{\rm{core}}}\sim 10{M}_{\odot }$ , M _env  ∼ 0.1–1 M _⊙ ) yellow supergiant ( L  ∼ 10 ^5 L _⊙ , T _eff  ≈ 5000–8000 K) envelopes, constructed with Athena++ .

Molecules and Chemistry in Red Supergiants

open access: yesGalaxies
The envelopes of Red Supergiants (RSGs) have a unique chemical environment not seen in other types of stars. They foster an oxygen-rich synthesis but are tempered by sporadic and chaotic mass loss, which distorts the envelope and creates complex outflow ...

The ultraviolet extinction in M-supergiant circumstellar envelopes

open access: yes, 1986
Using International Ultraviolet (IUS) archival low-dispersion spectra, ultraviolet spectral extinctions were derived for the circumstellar envelopes of two M supergiants: HD 60414 and HD 213310.

Hα Emission among Evolved FGKM Stars: A Compendium from the Literature

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Emission in the wings of the H α line among late-type giant stars occurs as a consequence of conditions in their chromospheres. Data from the literature have been used to document the incidence of H α emission among Population I giant stars as a function
