Time-averaged dust and wind properties
- M-type AGB stars, 1.0 M⊙, 7000 L⊙, 360 R⊙
- αstick =
1.0, 0.1, 0.01
- log(dM/dt / [M⊙/yr]) = -5.3, -5.9, -6.6
- Mass-loss rate, wind velocity, grain size:
decrease with αstick.
- Mass-loss events:
from periodic to rare/intermittent.
- Inside dense, cool clumps:
very good conditions for dust formation
- Clumps reduce sensitivity of dust formation on (numerical and stellar) parameters.
- Parameter dependence: gradual, no switch-off.
