Dust production and mass loss in cool evolved stars
Following the red giant branch phase and the subsequent core He-burning phase, the lowto intermediate-mass stars (0.8 < M/M < 8) begin to ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Pulsations levitate material from the stellar surface and provide density enhancements and shocks, which can encourage dust formation and re-processing. The dust composition depends on the atmospheric chemistry (abund...
متن کاملModelling the Mass Loss of Cool AGB Stars
The current status of modelling the wind driving mechanism of AGB stars is reviewed. Our present understanding of these winds is substantially guided by spherically symmetric, time-dependent models which reveal a complex interplay between stellar pulsation, hydrodynamics, small-scale waves, chemistry, dust formation and radiative transfer. The level of approximation used for the physical descri...
متن کاملTheoretical mass loss rates of cool main - sequence stars
Context. The stellar mass loss rate is important for the rotational evolution of a star and for its interaction with the circumstellar environment. The analysis of astrospheric absorption features enables an empirical determination of mass loss rates of cool stars other than the Sun. Aims. We develop a model for the wind properties of cool main-sequence stars, which comprises their wind ram pre...
متن کاملMass loss from OB-stars
We review recent developments regarding radiation driven mass loss from OB-stars. We first summarize the fundamental theoretical predictions, and then compare these to observational results (including the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars). Especially we focus on the mass loss-metallicity dependence and on the so-called bi-stability jump. Subsequently we concentrate on two urgent problems, wea...
متن کاملRadio Emission from Cool Stars
Recent developments in the study of radio emission from cool stars are reviewed. The eld of stellar radio astronomy would barely exist if active cool stars were similar to the Sun. However, many active stars appear to be fundamentally diierent from the Sun in that they possess a nonthermal corona which produces strong and steady radio emission. That is, in addition to the thermal populations at...
