  2. 1. Molecules at stellar death: from the winds of massive evolved stars to supernova remnants

    Author : Sofia Wallström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stellar mass-loss; supernova remnants; circumstellar matter; IRAS 17163-3907; yellow hypergiant stars; Cassiopeia A;

    Abstract : Massive stars play a key role in the chemical and dust budget of the galaxy, producing heavy elements, molecules, and dust. At the end of their lives they evolve through stages of significant mass-loss which affect the subsequent evolution of the star, including whether or not it will eventually explode as a supernova (SN).

  4. 2. The death throes of massive stars

    Author : Sofia Wallström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; submillimeter: ISM -- ISM: supernova remnants -- ISM: individual objects: Cassiopeia A -- circumstellar matter -- stars: AGB and post-AGB -- stars: mass-loss -- stars: individual: IRAS 17163-3907 -- quasars: absorption lines -- quasars: individual: B 0218 357 -- galaxies: ISM -- galaxies: abundances -- ISM: molecules;

    Abstract : Massive evolved stars affect their local surroundings as they go through phases of intense mass-loss and eventually explode as supernovae, adding kinetic energy and freshly synthesised material to the interstellar medium. The circumstellar material ejected by the star affects the shape and evolution of the future supernova remnant, and how the material is incorporated into the interstellar medium. READ MORE
