IRC+10216 & omi Cet SCUBA-2 light curves

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the sub-mm variability of two of the most well-studied AGB stars, IRC +10216 and omicron Ceti.

Description

The data are obtained at 450 and 850um as part of pointing calibration observations for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope's SCUBA-2 instrument over a span of 7yr. The periods are derived using non-parametric methods, Gatspy Supersmoother and P4J, in order not to assume an underlying shape to the periodicity.

These were compared to two Lomb-Scargle parametric methods. We find that for both sources and wavelengths the periods derived from all methods are consistent within {sigma}. The 850um phase folded light curves of IRC +10216 show a time lag of ~540d compared to its optical counterpart.

We explore the origins of the sub-mm variability and the phase lag using radiative transfer models. Combining the modelling with findings in the literature, we find that the sub-mm emission and phase lag can be partially attributed to the dust formation or destruction cycle. A second, unknown mechanism must be invoked; we defer an investigation of the origin and nature of this mechanism to a future work.
