- Description:
- Swan bands - characteristic molecular absorption features of the C2 molecule - are a spectroscopic signature of carbon-enhanced stars. They can also be used to identify carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. The GALAH (GALactic Archaeology with Hermes) is a magnitude-limited survey of stars producing high-resolution, high-signal-to-noise spectra. We used 627708 GALAH spectra to search for carbon-enhanced stars with a supervised and unsupervised classification algorithm, relying on the imprint of the Swan bands. We identified 918 carbon-enhanced stars, including 12 already described in the literature. An unbiased selection function of the GALAH survey allows us to perform a population study of carbon-enhanced stars. Most of them are giants, out of which we find 28 CEMP candidates. A large fraction of our carbon-enhanced stars with repeated observations show variation in radial velocity, hinting that there is a large fraction of variables among them. 32 of the detected stars also show strong Lithium enhancement in their spectra.

- Description:
- Knowing how the mass loss of carbon-rich AGB stars depends on stellar parameters is crucial for stellar evolution modelling, as well as for the understanding of when and how circumstellar structures emerge around these stars, e.g., dust shells and so-called detached shells of expelled gas. The purpose of this paper is to explore the stellar parameter space using a numerical radiation hydrodynamic (RHD) model of carbon-star atmospheres, including a detailed description of dust formation and frequency-dependent radiative transfer, in order to determine how the mass loss of carbon stars changes with stellar parameters.

- Hamburg/ESO Survey extremely metal-poor stars
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/778/56
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- From detailed abundance analysis of >100 Hamburg/ESO candidate extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars we find 45 with [Fe/H]<-3.0dex. We identify a heretofore unidentified group: Ca-deficient stars with sub-solar [Ca/Fe] ratios and the lowest neutron-capture abundances; the Ca-deficient group comprises ~10% of the sample, excluding Carbon stars. Our radial velocity distribution shows that the carbon-enhanced stars with no s-process enhancements, CEMP-no, and which do not show C_2_ bands are not preferentially binary systems. Ignoring Carbon stars, approximately 15% of our sample are strong (>=5{sigma}) outliers in one or more elements between Mg and Ni; this rises to ~19% if very strong (>=10{sigma}) outliers for Sr and Ba are included. Examples include: HE0305-0554 with the lowest [Ba/H] known; HE1012-1540 and HE2323-0256, two (non-velocity variable) C-rich stars with very strong [Mg,Al/Fe] enhancements; and HE1226-1149, an extremely r-process rich star.

- Description:
- High-resolution spectra obtained from the Subaru Telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph have been used to update the stellar atmospheric parameters and metallicity of the star HD 209621. We have derived a metallicity of [Fe/H]=-1.93 for this star, and have found a large enhancement of carbon and of heavy elements, with respect to iron. Updates on the elemental abundances of four s-process elements (Y, Ce, Pr, Nd) along with the first estimates of abundances for a number of other heavy elements (Sr, Zr, Ba, La, Sm, Eu, Er, Pb) are reported.

- Description:
- A study of 140 hot carbon and related stars. Table 3 contains our hot carbon stars (HC)-classification (see section 2.2 in the paper) for 119 hot carbon stars and their colour excess E(B-V) as determined by the method described in section 2.3. The analogous data for 21 peculiar stars (RCB variables, AC Her [a RV Tau star], V553 Cen [a class II-Cepheid] etc...) can be found in Table 4: most of them have an oxygen-type classification.

- Description:
- A large set of deep, near-IR, objective-prism plates taken along the southern Galactic plane was searched for cool supergiants and carbon stars. Accurate coordinates and charts for 759 carbon stars in two Galactic longitude sectors within 7.5{deg} of the plane, 248{deg}<l<288{deg} and 320{deg}<l<341{deg}, are given, including 289 stars not previously published. Many of the new and known stars are found in the IRAS, DENIS, and 2MASS point-source catalogs. The 2MASS colors and the longitude distribution of cool carbon stars are discussed briefly.

- Description:
- We collected 113 J-type carbon stars from the published literature. Observations from 2MASS, IRAS, and ISO show that, except for silicate carbon stars in the J-type carbon star domain, the infrared properties of the other J-type carbon stars are quite similar to those of ordinary carbon stars. The above results imply that the chemical peculiarity of enhanced ^13^C for J-type carbon stars is not reflected in the infrared region. In addition, the possible evolutionary scenario and binarity for J-type carbon stars are also discussed.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- This work presents a detailed analysis of the laboratory and astrophysical spectral data available for ^28^SiC_2_, ^29^SiC_2_, ^30^SiC_2_, Si^13^CC, and Si_2_C. New data on the rotational lines of these species between 70 and 350GHz have been obtained with high spectral resolution (195kHz) with the IRAM 30m telescope in the direction of the circumstellar envelope IRC+10216. Frequency measurements can reach an accuracy of 50kHz for features observed with a good signal to noise ratio. From the observed astrophysical lines and the available laboratory data new rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have been derived for all the isotopologues of SiC_2_, allowing to predict their spectrum with high accuracy in the millimeter and submillimeter domains. Improved rotational and centrifugal distortion constants have also been obtained for disilicon carbide, Si_2_C. This work shows that observations of IRC+10216 taken with the IRAM 30m telescope, with a spectral resolution of 195kHz, can be used for any molecular species detected in this source to derive, or improve, its rotational constants. Hence, IRC+10216 in addition to be one the richest sources in molecular species in the sky, can also be used as a state-of-the-art spectroscopy laboratory in the millimeter and submillimeter domains.

- IRC+10216 carbon chains mapped with ALMA
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/601/A4

- Description:
- Linear carbon chains are common in various types of astronomical molecular sources. Possible formation mechanisms involve both bottom-up and top-down routes. We have carried out a combined observational and modeling study of the formation of carbon chains in the C-star envelope IRC +10216, where the polymerization of acetylene and hydrogen cyanide induced by ultraviolet photons can drive the formation of linear carbon chains of increasing length. We have used ALMA to map the emission of 3 mm rotational lines of the hydrocarbon radicals C_2_H, C_4_H, and C_6_H, and the CN-containing species CN, C_3_N, HC_3_N, and HC_5_N with an angular resolution of 1". The spatial distribution of all these species is a hollow 5-10" wide spherical shell located at a radius of 10-20" from the star, with no appreciable emission close to the star. Our observations resolve the broad shell of carbon chains into thinner subshells that are 1-2" wide and not fully concentric, indicating that the mass-loss process has been discontinuous and not fully isotropic. The radial distributions of the species mapped reveal subtle differences: while the hydrocarbon radicals have very similar radial distributions, the CN-containing species show more diverse distributions, with HC_3_N appearing earlier in the expansion and the radical CN extending later than the rest of the species. The observed morphology can be rationalized by a chemical model in which the growth of polyynes is mainly produced by rapid gas-phase chemical reactions of C_2_H and C_4_H radicals with unsaturated hydrocarbons, while cyanopolyynes are mainly formed from polyynes in gas-phase reactions with CN and C_3_N radicals.
