On determining the mass - loss rates of red giants and red supergiants based on infrared data
I review existing methods for determining mass-loss rates of red giants and red supergiants based on infrared data. The simplest method is based on models for the absorption and emission by dust which forms in the dense outflows from these cool stars. I discuss the parameters and assumptions upon which the method relies, review relationships between the mass-loss rate and infrared colours or fa...

be hypothesised that adaptation to pollinators has been a driving force behind the diversification of some of the major elements of the southern African flora, " Johnson writes. Southern African flowers are known to be attractive to a range of species from long-probscid flies, oil-bees, hawkmoths, butterflies, birds and rodents. Many of these pollination interactions have been characterised in ...
متن کاملDredge-up and envelope burning in intermediate mass giants of very low metallicity
The evolution of intermediate mass stars at very low metallicity during their final thermal pulse asymptotic giant branch phase is studied in detail. As representative examples models with initial masses of 4M⊙ and 5M⊙ with a metallicity of Z = 0.0001 ([Fe/H] ∼ −2.3) are discussed. The 1D stellar structure and evolution model includes timeand depth dependent overshooting motivated by hydrodynam...
متن کاملCompulsory Deep Mixing of He and CNO Isotopes in the Envelopes of low-mass Red Giants
Three-dimensional stellar modeling has enabled us to identify a deep-mixing mechanism that must operate in all low mass giants. This mixing process is not optional, and is driven by a molecular weight inversion created by the He(He,2p)He reaction. In this paper we characterize the behavior of this mixing, and study its impact on the envelope abundances. It not only eliminates the problem of He ...
متن کاملRadii and Effective Temperatures for K and M Giants and Supergiants. Ii
We present new interferometric observations for 74 luminous red stars, made in the near-infrared. We show that our 2.2 km uniform-disk diameters agree with other near-infrared diameter determinations (lunar occultations and interferometers) for 22 stars measured in common with ours. From our new data, we derive e†ective temperatures that are compared with our previous work and with comparable o...
