Aluminum Oxide Dust Speeds Up Star Winds (3 of 3)

image: High spatial resolution image of AlO and 29SiO molecules around W Hydrae observed with ALMA. Colors show emissions from AlO molecules (red) and 29SiO molecules and the star (yellow).. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 01 November 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Takigawa at Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan, and colleagues was titled, "Dust formation and wind acceleration around the aluminum oxide-rich AGB star W Hydrae." view more
