Abstract
AbstractThere are clear differences in what sulphur molecules form in AGB circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) across chemical types. CS forms more readily in the CSEs of carbon stars, while SO and SO2 have only been detected towards oxygen-rich stars. However, we have also discovered differences in sulphur chemistry based on the density of the CSE, as traced by mass-loss rate divided by expansion velocity. For example, the radial distribution of SO is drastically different between AGB stars with lower and higher density CSEs. H2S can be found in high abundances towards higher density oxygen-rich stars, whereas SiS accounts for a significant portion of the circumstellar sulphur for higher density carbon stars.
