Mid-infrared Interferometry of Dust around Massive Evolved Stars
We report long-baseline interferometric measurements of circumstellar dust aroundmassive evolved stars with the MIDI instrument on theVeryLarge Telescope Interferometer and provide spectrally dispersed visibilities in the 8Y13 m wavelength band. We also present diffraction-limited observations at 10.7 m on the Keck Telescope with baselines up to 8.7 m, which explore larger scale structure. We h...
متن کاملThe evolved stars of Leo II dSph galaxy from near-infrared UKIRT/WFCAM observations
We present a study of the evolved stellar populations in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo II, based on JHKs observations obtained with the near-infrared array WFCAM at the UKIRT telescope. Combining the new data with optical data, we derived photometric estimates of the distribution of global metallicity [M/H] of individual red giant stars from their V −Ks colours. Our results are consistent wit...
متن کاملInfrared Colors and Variability of Evolved Stars from COBE DIRBE Data
For a complete 12 μm flux-limited sample of 207 IRAS sources (F12 ≥ 150 Jy, |b| ≥ 5), the majority of which are AGB stars (∼87%), we have extracted light curves in seven infrared bands between 1.25 μm − 60 μm using the database of the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) instrument on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite. Using previous infrared surveys, we filtered these l...
متن کاملMaser studies in evolved stars
High resolution maps of maser emission provide very detailed information on processes occurring in circumstellar envelopes of late-type stars. A particularly detailed picture of the innermost shells around AGB stars is provided by SiO masers. Considerable progress is being made to provide astrometrically aligned multi-transition simultaneous observations of these masers, which are needed to bet...
متن کاملSlow and Fast Extramixing in Evolved Stars from Magnetic Buoyancy
We present the results of nucleosynthesis computations in mass transport phenomena affecting the final evolutionary stages of a low mass star. We assume that the process starts near the H-burning shell, and is driven by magnetic mechanisms, according to recent suggestions [1]. This is due to the fact that magnetized bubbles are subject to a fast buoyancy, accompanied by a downward flow induced ...
