Title: | Dust from AGBs: understanding the Spitzer observations of evolved stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud | Authors: | Dell'Agli, Flavia García-Hernández, D. A. VENTURA, Paolo Schneider, R. DI CRISCIENZO, Marcella Rossi, C. |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Journal: | MEMORIE DELLA SOCIETA ASTRONOMICA ITALIANA | Number: | 87 | First Page: | 255 | Abstract: | Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars represent one of the main stellar sources for production of dust in the Universe. We provide a description of the formation and growth of dust particles in the circumstellar envelope of AGBs, starting from detailed calculations of the AGB evolutionary phase. We use stellar population synthesis to interpret the Spitzer observations of dusty AGBs in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Our results show that carbon-rich and oxygen-rich stars evolve into different and separated regions of the observational diagrams obtained with the Spitzer bands. This allows a straight comparison with the spectroscopically confirmed samples of AGBs in the LMC present in the literature. The overall impact of AGBs on the dust production rate in the LMC is also discussed. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28184 | URL: | http://sait.oat.ts.astro.it/MSAIt870216/index.html | ISSN: | 0037-8720 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016MmSAI..87..255D | Fulltext: | open |
