Explore a detailed astronomy seminar examining the chemical processes and dynamics within Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star outflows and their crucial role in enriching the interstellar medium. Learn how these stellar outflows serve as rich astrochemical laboratories, containing nearly 100 detected molecules and 15 types of newly-formed dust, while contributing 80% of stellar gas injection and 70% of stellar dust production to the ISM. Discover the complex relationship between chemistry and dynamics in AGB outflows, including insights from recent ALMA Large Programme ATOMIUM observations, the chemical mechanisms behind outflow launching, and future research directions in this field of stellar evolution and ISM chemical composition studies.
