Abstract:
We present a near-complete catalog of the metal-rich population of
thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the northwest
quadrant of M31. This metal-rich sample complements the equally
complete metal-poor Magellanic Cloud AGB catalogs produced by the SAGE
program. Our catalog includes Hubble Space Telescope (HST) wide-band
photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury survey, HST
medium-band photometry used to chemically classify a subset of the
sample, and Spitzer mid- and far-IR photometry that we have used to
isolate dust-producing AGB stars. We have detected 346623 AGB stars;
these include 4802 AGB candidates producing considerable dust, and
1356 AGB candidates that lie within clusters with measured ages, and
in some cases metallicities. Using the Spitzer data and chemical
classifications made with the medium-band data, we have identified
both carbon- and oxygen-rich AGB candidates producing significant
dust. We have applied color-mass-loss relations based on dusty-AGB
stars from the LMC to estimate the dust injection by AGB stars in the
PHAT footprint. Applying our color relations to a subset of the
chemically classified stars producing the bulk of the dust, we find
that ∼97.8% of the dust is oxygen-rich. Using several scenarios for
the dust lifetime, we have estimated the contribution of AGB stars to
the global dust budget of M31 to be 0.9%-35.5%, which is in line
with previous estimates in the Magellanic Clouds. Follow-up
observations of the M31 AGB candidates with the JWST will allow us to
further constrain stellar and chemical evolutionary models, and the
feedback and dust production of metal-rich evolved stars.
Description:
UV to IR photometry for AGB candidates in the PHAT footprint of M31.
Additional classifications for carbon and oxygen-rich AGB stars,
heavily dust enshrouded AGB stars, Red Helium Burning and Red
Supergiant candidates, and associated cluster properties, where
available.
