Research Abstract

Evolved massive stars are thought to be one of the most promising suppliers for dust in the Universe, but it remains unclear details of dust formation around them. We installed a newly developed mid-infrared camera MAX38 on the miniTAO 1-m telescope at the world highest Chajnantor site (altitude 5640m), and carried out imaging observations of evolved stars at 30 micron. Spatially resolved images of 3massive luminous blue variable stars and moderate massive bipolar planetary nebulae are newly obtained.These provide new information about the dust supply and the morphological evolution of the objects.
