1. Mass Loss of Evolved Stars : Improving Mass-Loss Rates and Distances
Abstract : In the final stages of their lives, low to intermediate-mass stars enter the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase, where they experience significant mass loss through dusty stellar winds. This mass loss is pivotal, not only for the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium, setting the stage for new stars and planets to form, but also in dictating the evolution and the ultimate fate of the stars themselves.

2. 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

3. 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

4. On the Winds of Carbon Stars and the Origin of Carbon : A Theoretical Study
Abstract : Carbon is the basis for life, as we know it, but its origin is still largely unclear. Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars (carbon stars) play an important rôle in the cosmic matter cycle and may contribute most of the carbon in the Galaxy. READ MORE

5. Isoconversional analysis for the prediction of mass-loss rates during pyrolysis of biomass
Abstract : Biomass is the only renewable carbon source that can compete with fossil energy sources in terms of production of materials, chemicals and fuels. Biomass can be transformed into charcoal, liquid and gas through pyrolysis, i.e. pure thermal decomposition. READ MORE
