On the nature of massive helium star winds and Wolf–Rayet-type mass-loss [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 The mass-loss rates of massive helium stars are one of the major uncertainties in modern astrophysics. Regardless of whether they were stripped by a binary companion or managed to peel off their outer layers by themselves, the influence and final fate ...

XUV-driven mass loss from extrasolar giant planets orbiting active stars [PDF]
, 2014 Upper atmospheres of Hot Jupiters are subject to extreme radiation conditions that can result in rapid atmospheric escape. The composition and structure of the upper atmospheres of these planets are affected by the high-energy spectrum of the host star ...

Mass loss of stars on the asymptotic giant branch
, 2018 As low- and intermediate-mass stars reach the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), they have developed into intriguing and complex objects that are major players in the cosmic gas/dust cycle.

EVOLUTION OF THERMALLY PULSING ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS. IV. CONSTRAINING MASS LOSS AND LIFETIMES OF LOW MASS, LOW METALLICITY AGB STARS [PDF]
, 2014 The evolution and lifetimes of thermally pulsating asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars suffer from significant uncertainties. In this work, we analyze the numbers and luminosity functions of TP-AGB stars in six quiescent, low metallicity ([Fe/H] ≲ −0 ...

First stars. II. Evolution with mass loss [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2011 The first stars are assumed to be predominantly massive. Although, due to the low initial abundances of heavy elements the line-driven stellar winds are supposed to be inefficient in the first stars, these stars may loose a significant amount of their initial mass by other mechanisms.

THE MASS-LOSS RETURN FROM EVOLVED STARS TO THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD. IV. CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION OF A GRID OF MODELS FOR OXYGEN-RICH AGB STARS, RED SUPERGIANTS, AND EXTREME AGB STARS [PDF]
, 2014 To measure the mass loss from dusty oxygen-rich (O-rich) evolved stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we have constructed a grid of models of spherically symmetric dust shells around stars with constant mass-loss rates using 2Dust.

Mass loss in main-sequence B stars [PDF]
, 2014 We calculate radiatively driven wind models of main-sequence B stars and provide the wind mass-loss rates and terminal velocities. The main-sequence mass-loss rate strongly depends on the stellar effective temperature.

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Luminosities and mass-loss rates of Local Group AGB stars and Red Supergiants [PDF]
, 2014 We aim to investigate mass loss and luminosity in a large sample of evolved stars in several Local Group galaxies with a variety of metalliticies and star-formation histories: the Small and Large Magellanic Cloud, and the Fornax, Carina, and Sculptor ...
