Interstellar dust properties using far-infrared bands analyze nature around asymptotic giant branch stars and stellar objects. Here, we present physical properties around the cavity region across an AGB star named IRAS 04427+4951 Sky View Observatory of IRIS, AKARI map, SIMBAD, Aladin v2.5, and Gaia Archive. The average color temperature and mass are 23.48 ± 0.009 K, 3.55×1027 kg (1.79× 10-3 Mʘ ) in IRIS data and 14.89 ± 0.004 K and 5.34×1028 kg (2.69 × 10-2 Mʘ ) from AKARI data. The size of isolated cavity-like structure around the AGB stars of 45.67 pc × 17.02 pc and 42.25 pc × 17.76 pc, respectively. The visual extinction is to be in the range of 3.2×10-4 to 4.3×10-4 mag in and 4.5 × 10-3 to 7.4×10-3 mag. The inclination angle is 86.150 and 93.920. The method and results we present developed can for the study of astrochemistry of interstellar medium. BIBECHANA 18 (2) (2021) 154-163

AbstractThis paper presents mass, temperature profile, and the variation of Planck’s function in different regions around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. The physics of the interstellar medium (ISM) is extremely complex because the medium is very inhomogeneous and is made of regions with fairly diverse physical conditions. We studied the dust environment such as flux, temperature, mass, and inclination angle of the cavity structure around C-rich asymptotic giant branch stars in 60 μm and 100 μm wavelengths band using Infrared Astronomical Survey. We observed the data of AGB stars named IRAS 01142+6306 and IRAS 04369+4501. Flexible image transport system image was downloaded from Sky View Observatory; we obtained the surrounding flux density using software Aladin v2.5. The average dust color temperature and mass are found to be 25.08 K, 23.20 K and 4.73 × ;1026 kg (0.00024 M⊙), 2.58 × 1028 kg (0.013 M⊙), respectively. The dust color temperature ranges from 18.76 K ± 3.16 K to 33.21K ± K and 22.84 K ± 0.18 K to 24.48 K ± 0.63 K. The isolated cavity like structure around the AGB stars has an extension of 45.67 pc × 17.02 pc and 42.25 pc × 17.76 pc, respectively. The core region is found to be edge-on having an inclination angle of 79.46° and 73.99°, respectively.

We studied the dust properties of two cavity structures (namely FIC21+54 and FIC16-56) nearby Asymptotic Giant Branch stars using Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) maps. Dust color temperature, Planck function, dust mass, and visual extinction with their distribution within the region of interest were examined. The temperature of dust was found to lie in the range of 22.24 ± 0.81 K to 23.27 ± 0.21 K, and 25.12 ± 0.43 K to 26.17 ± 0.62 K, and the mass of dust was obtained within the range of 4.21 × 1026 kg to 3.6 × 1027 kg, and 2.1 × 1027 kg to 3.31 × 1028 kg, for FIC21+54 and FIC16-56, respectively. Some unusual behaviors on the distribution of dust temperature indicated the effect of nearby sources within the studied structures. Moreover, we observed the trend of dust particles along the major and minor diameters, and plots represented that the particles were oscillating with a sinusoidal pattern in both cavities. The negative slope between 25 µm and 60 µm in far-infrared spectral distribution was encountered for both structures, which portrayed less number density of particles in 60 µm band; interaction between AGB wind and the ambient interstellar medium could be the possible reason behind this. These findings support the prior results for two new cavity structures nearby AGB stars within the galactic plane -10° < b < +10°.

A brief review is given of the structure of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and of the characteristics of the thermal pulses which these stars experience. Following a pulse, model AGB stars with a large core mass easily dredge up fresh carbon, which is the main product of incomplete helium burning, and s-process isotopes, which are made as a consequence of the activation of the 22Ne neutron source. Model AGB stars of small core mass activate the 13C neutron source and produce s-process isotopes in nearly the solar system distribution. They also dredge up fresh carbon and s-process isotopes, but only if overshoot or some other form of “extra” mixing beyond the lower boundary of the convective envelope is invoked.

AbstractThe role of magnetic fields in late type stars, such as Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGBs), Post-AGBs and Planetary Nebulae (PNe), is poorly known from an observational point of view. Magnetic fields are however believed to have a non-negligible influence on the dynamics (via mass loss control, outflows shaping) and even on the chemistry (e.g. extra mixing) of these stellar objects. We are therefore presenting two different types of investigation, both based on the use of polarimetry, which aim at filling the gap between the observations on the one hand and the theoretical predictions on the other hand.

AbstractAsymptotic Giant Branch Stars (AGB) are evolved, mass losing red giants with tenuous molecular envelopes which have been the subject of much recent study using infrared and radio interferometers. In oxygen rich stars, radio SiO masers form in the outer regions of the molecular envelopes and are powerful diagnostics of the extent of these envelopes. Spectroscopically resolved infrared interferometry helps constrain the extent of various species in the molecular layer. We made VLBA 7 mm SiO maser, Keck Interferometer near IR and VLTI/MIDI mid IR high resolution observations of the stars U Ari, W Cnc, RX Tau, RT Aql, S Ser and V Mon. This paper presents evidence that the SiO is depleted from the gas phase and speculate that it is frozen onto Al2O3 grains and that radiation pressure on these grains help drive the outflow.

Asymptotic giant branch stars are the immediate precursors to the planetary nebula stage of stellar evolution. It is clear that the latter stages of a stars life on the AGB are accompanied by either continuous or episodic mass-loss, with the final convulsion being the ejection of the envelope (the future planetary shell), the gradual exposure of the bare CO core and the rapid horizontal evolution to the blue in the H-R diagram. Thus, the structure of the planetary nebula luminosity function, particularly at the higher luminosities (although this phase is extremely rapid), is intimately tied to the luminosity function of the AGB.
