A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL

Giovanna Tinetti, +243 more
TL;DR: The ARIEL mission as mentioned in this paper was designed to observe a large number of transiting planets for statistical understanding, including gas giants, Neptunes, super-Earths and Earth-size planets around a range of host star types using transit spectroscopy in the 1.25-7.8 μm spectral range and multiple narrow-band photometry in the optical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing the mass-loss history of AGB and red supergiant stars from CO rotational line profiles - I. Theoretical model – Mass-loss history unravelled in VY CMa

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-LTE radiative transfer code was developed to calculate the velocity structure and gas kinetic temperature of the envelope in a self-consistent way, which allows for the implementation of modulations in the mass loss rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dust condensation sequence in red supergiant stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions at the base of the wind by determining the dust composition of a sample of RSG was studied, and the derived dust composition was compared with the composition measured in AGB star winds.
