  2. 1. Studies of the S-type AGB star W Aquilae : The circumstellar envelope and the fain companion

    Author : Taissa Danilovich; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stars: binaries: spectroscopic; circumstellar matter; stars: binaries: visual; stars: evolution; stars: mass-loss; stars: AGB and post-AGB; stars: individual: W Aql;

    Abstract : Low- and intermediate-mass stars will all eventually enter the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. AGB stars experience intense mass-loss, generating a significant fraction of the dust and molecular matter that enrichesthe ISM. AGB stars are also responsible for a the production of about half of all elements heavier than iron. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of Double and Multiple Stars Using Space Astrometry

    Abstract : This thesis introduces and summarizes four papers dealing with the study of double and multiple stars using space astrometry. The introduction gives a brief review of the role of binary observations in various fields of astronomy --- star formation, stellar masses and the mass-luminosity relation, initial mass function, detection of sub-stellar mass companions.
