An efficient algorithm for two–dimensional radiative transfer in axisymmetric circumstellar envelopes and disks
We present an algorithm for two–dimensional radiative transfer in axisymmetric, circumstellar media. The formal integration of the transfer equation is performed by a generalization of the short characteristics (SC) method to spherical coordinates. Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) and Ng’s algorithm are used to converge towards a solution. By taking a logarithmically spaced radial coordinate ...
متن کاملWater vapour in circumstellar envelopes
We present observations of the 313 →220 line of p-H2O at 183 GHz in the direction of the circumstellar envelopes of 23 O–rich evolved stars. The 183 GHz data are complemented with observations of CO J=2 →1, p-H2O 515 →422 at 325 GHz, o-H2O 616 →523 at 22 GHz and SiO v=1 J=2 →1. The line profiles of these transitions are compared and discussed in terms of the regions where they are formed. We ha...
متن کاملInfrared interferometry of circumstellar envelopes
This paper will review the technical progress of interferometric infrared observing techniques from the first 2-element interferometer 25 years ago to the 3+ element arrays now coming into service. To date, only the Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI) has published separateelement interferometric data on circumstellar dust shells in the infrared and many of these scientific results will be di...
متن کاملImaging the circumstellar envelopes of AGB stars ⋆
Aims. We report the results of an exploratory program to image the extended circumstellar envelopes of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in dust-scattered galactic light. The goal is to characterize the morphology of the envelopes as a probe of the mass-loss process. Methods. The observations consist of short exposures with the VLT and longer exposures with 1–2 m telescopes, augmented with ar...
متن کاملCircular Polarization of Water Masers in the Circumstellar Envelopes of Late Type Stars
We present circular polarization measurements of circumstellar H2O masers. The magnetic fields in circumstellar envelopes are generally examined by polarization observations of SiO and OH masers. SiO masers probe the high temperature and density regime close to the central star. OH masers are found at much lower densities and temperatures, generally much further out in the circumstellar envelop...
