1. Molecules and Dust around AGB stars : Mass-loss rates and molecular abundances
Abstract : All stars with a stellar mass of about 0.8–8 MSun will end their lives as asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Through their extensive mass loss the AGB stars constitutes an important source of nuclear processed material. READ MORE

2. Stellar Winds of Cool Giants : Investigating the Mass-Loss Mechanism of AGB Stars
Abstract : Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are luminous cool giants of low to intermediate mass that are strongly pulsating and non-spherical, with heavy mass loss through a stellar wind. The mass loss makes these stars important for galactic chemistry, as the wind enriches the interstellar medium with new elements and dust, and it determines the final fate of these stars. READ MORE

3. Dynamical atmospheres and winds of M-type AGB stars
Abstract : Mass loss, in the form of slow stellar winds, is a decisive factor for the evolution of cool luminous giants, eventually turning them into white dwarfs. These dense outflows are also a key factor in the enrichment of the interstellar medium with newly produced elements from the interior of these stars. READ MORE

4. Charting Circumstellar Chemistry of Carbon-rich AGB Stars
Abstract : Stars of low to intermediate initial masses (0.8 - 8 M⊙) enter the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase during their late evolution. READ MORE

5. Companion wind shaping in binaries involving an AGB star
Abstract : Stars of initial masses between 0.8-8 M☉ will become "asymptotic giant branch" (AGB) stars during the final stages of their evolution. During this phase, the stars are characterized by low velocity and high-density winds. READ MORE
