  1. Tatsuhiko Hasegawa (ASIAA) 2010 February ALMA-T Users Workshop Quantitative Characterization of Tori in Evolved Stars – A possible observational project on evolved stars with ALMA

  2. Summary • An evolution scenario for (post-)AGB stars and (pre-)planetary nebulae • Evidence of torus and jet developments at the end of AGB phase. • Difficulties for quantitative descriptions of the torus developments. • Straw man target list. Observing line. • Detection feasibility of expanding tori. Demonstrations of detections with SMA. • Dynamical times of tori and jets – This is the best we have. We need more points with better angular resolutions. • List of theoretical explanations.

  3. Summary • Resolving the torus structures in 20 – 30 (post-)AGB stars and (pre-)planetary nebulae in the CO(2-1 or 3-2) line with a 0.1 – 0.01 arcsecond resolution with ALMA to determine the basic physical parameters of the tori [R_in, R_out, h_z, V(expansion), M(torus), dynamical time ]. • Quantitatively describing the formation and evolution of the torus structures in the evolved stars from the sample. Taking a census of deviations from the axial symmetry and radial expansion of the torus-like structures. How common are the tori among the evolved stars ? • Providing constraints to the theorists.
