MESS Herschel Data
Herschel data from the
"Mass-loss of Evolved StarS"
(
MESS) Guaranteed-Time Key Program are
available here. IRSA is serving the MESS PACS
imaging of 108 evolved stars. This is Herschel program
KPGT_mgroen01_1.
The sample of AGB stars has been selected to cover all chemical types (M-, S-, C-stars), variability types (irregular, semi-regular, Miras) and periods, and mass-loss rates. Stars have been selected to have high IRAS fluxes and low background levels.
