Circumstellar Dust Shells of pulsating Red Giants as Dynamical Systems
S. Meier, A.B.C. Patzer, M. Lüttke, P. Woitke and E. Sedlmayr
Astronomische Gesellschaft Abstract Series, Vol. 17., (2000)
Abstract:
Miras and long-period variables (LPVs) are highly evolved, pulsating stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) with massive outflows and prominent circumstellar dust shells (CDSs). A CDS, driven by the stellar pulsation, can be considered as a dynamical system which reveals various kinds of complex phenomena like spatio-temporal instabilities, bifurcations, multiperiodicity and transition to chaos.
Electronic structure investigation of neutral titanium oxide molecules Ti_xO_y

Gzipped PostScript version (2.3 MB)
Abstract:
Electronic and structural properties of energetically low-lying isomers of isolated TixOy (x=1-6, y=1-12) molecular systems have been investigated by density functional theoretical methods. A variety of stationary points is thoroughly characterised. We report total cluster energies, equilibrium geometries, and harmonic vibrational wave numbers.

Abstract:
Brown Dwarfs provide favorable conditions for the gas-solid phase transition since in its atmosphere low temperatures with high densities are combined. Observations of unexpectedly weak molecular absorption bands indicate the existence of dust in their atmospheres.
