Mass-loss from Red Giants
Although much is known about the nature of winds from hot stars and giants and supergiants with spectral types earlier than K, there is still much to be learned regarding the mass-loss process in cool, late-type stars. We will review the current state of research, with particular reference to observations and modelling of mass-loss from giant stars in symbiotic systems.
متن کاملSalt-fingering convection in the small diffusivity ratio limit
Doubly diffusive processes play a fundamental role in many physical phenomena of substantial geophysical and astrophysical importance. Despite much research basic questions, e.g. how primary and secondary instabilities saturate and how mean fields are generated, remain unresolved. In the salt-finger regime, we use a systematic asymptotic procedure to reduce the primitive equations to a prognost...
متن کاملLong Secondary Periods in Variable Red Giants
We present a study of a sample of LMC red giants exhibiting Long Secondary Periods (LSPs). We use radial velocities obtained from VLT spectral observations and MACHO and OGLE light curves to examine properties of the stars and to evaluate models for the cause of LSPs. This sample is much larger than the combined previous studies of Hinkle et al. (2002) and Wood, Olivier & Kawaler (2004). Binary...
متن کاملNon - adiabatic Oscillations of Red Giants
Using our non-local time-dependent theory of convection, the linear non-adiabatic oscillations of 10 evolutionary model series with masses of 1–3M⊙ are calculated. The results show that there is a red giant instability strip in the lower temperature side of the Hertzsprung-Russel (HR) diagram which goes along the sequences of the red giant branch (RGB) and the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). For...
متن کاملOscillations of αUMa and other red giants
There is growing observational evidence that the variability of red giants could be caused by self-excitation of global modes of oscillation. The most recent evidence of such oscillations was reported for αUMa by Buzasi et al. (2000) who analysed space photometric data from the WIRE satellite. Little is understood about the oscillation properties in red giants. In this paper we address the ques...
