Mass Loss History of the AGB star, R Cas
May, 2009Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
We report here on the discovery of an extended far-infrared shell around the AGB star, R Cassiopeia, made by AKARI and Spitzer. The extended, cold circumstellar shell of R Cas spans nearly 3 arcmin and is probably shaped by interaction with the interstellar medium. This report is one of several studies of well-resolved mass loss histories of AGB stars under AKARI and Spitzer observing programs labeled 'Excavating Mass Loss History in Extended Dust Shells of Evolved Stars (MLHES)'.References(20)
