Atacama Large Millimetre Array observations show a non-detection of carbon monoxide around the four most luminous asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Stellar evolution models and star counts show that the mass-loss... Read More about ALMA reveals sunburn: CO dissociation around AGB stars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae.
