  • Dust and Molecular Shells in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

Lagrange, Université de Nice Sophia-Antipolis et Observatoire de la Cˆote d’Azur, BP 4229, 06304 Nice Cedex 4, France Received 26 September 2011 / Accepted 21 June 2012 ABSTRACT Context. Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are one of the largest distributors of dust into the interstellar medium. However, the wind formation mechanism and dust condensation sequence leading to the observed high mass-loss rates have not yet been constrained well observationally, in particular for oxygen-rich AGB stars. Aims. The immediate objective in this work is to identify molecules and dust species which are present in the layers above the photosphere, and which have emission and absorption features in the mid-infrared (IR), causing the diameter to vary across the N-band, and are potentially relevant for the wind formation. Methods. Mid-IR (8–13 μm) interferometric data of four oxygen-rich AGB stars (R Aql, R Aqr, R Hya, and W Hya) and one carbon- rich AGB star (V Hya) were obtained with MIDI/VLTI between April 2007 and September 2009.

This book can be referenced as follows: Reipurth, B. 2016, http://ifa.hawaii.edu/SP1 i FOREWORD I first learned about George Herbig’s work when I was a teenager. I grew up in Denmark in the 1950s, a time when Europe was healing the wounds after the ravages of the Second World War. Already at the age of 7 I had fallen in love with astronomy, but information was very hard to come by in those days, so I scraped together what I could, mainly relying on the local library. At some point I was introduced to the magazine Sky and Telescope, and soon invested my pocket money in a subscription. Every month I would sit at our dining room table with a dictionary and work my way through the latest issue. In one issue I read about Herbig-Haro objects, and I was completely mesmerized that these objects could be signposts of the formation of stars, and I dreamt about some day being able to contribute to this field of study.

The striking association in HD 167362 and BD + 300 3639 of a carbon nucleus with a nitrogen envelope suggests that a comparison with NGC 6543 would be interesting, despite the higher excitation prevailing in the nuclear and nebular parts of NGC 6543.11 This object also shows strong nebular lines of [N II], but its nucleus exhibits both N IV and C IV with similar intensities. 1 Astronomy and Astrophysics, 13, 461 (1894). 2 Several excellent spectrograms of Campbell's star (BD + 300 3639) have recently been secured at the McDonald Observatory and agree closely with the description of the spectrum by Wright (Lick Obs.
