Circumstellar gas and dust emission and mass loss from evolved stars

This dissertation presents a study of the circumstellar gas and dust emission and their relation to the mass-loss in evolved stars. Considering the physical process of heating and cooling of the dust, a model to calculate the circumstellar dust emission is developed. The dust distribution is express...
