Dear cool evolved star enthusiasts,

Welcome to the second edition of the Cool Evolved Stars Newsletter!

If you are reading this, hopefully it’s because you have already subscribed to CESN. If not, you can subscribed now on our website: https://cesn.obspm.fr. If you know of any colleagues who might be fans of cool evolved stars but have not yet seen this newsletter, please forward it to them and encourage them to sign up. The more the merrier!

As we settle into our regular schedule, we would also like to thank you everyone who submitted an article or an announcement. Remember, sending us an article or an announcement by the 25th of the month guarantees inclusion in the next newsletter. Submissions received between the 25th and the end of the month might be included in the next newsletter but could be delayed until the following month.

With those details out of the way, we hope you enjoy reading this month’s abstracts. And be sure to scroll down to our announcements to find out about upcoming conferences.

Best regards from the CESN editorial team
(Taïssa Danilovich, Miguel Montargès, Marie Van de Sande, Jacco van Loon)

April 2026 — #1

On behalf of the editors (Taissa Danilovich, Marie Van de Sande, Miguel Montargès and Jacco van Loon), welcome to the first edition of the Cool Evolved Stars Newsletter (CESN), the new incarnation of the former AGB newsletter (for those of us suffering from nostalgia: https://astro.keele.ac.uk/AGBnews/).

For obvious reasons, we decided to postpone the first mailing from April 1st to April 2nd. We would like to thank all of you who registered (currently 131 cool people) and who make the cool evolved stars community a vibrant one. Our thanks also go to our April 2026 contributors. Once again we would like to acknowledge the work of Florence Henry and Sylvain Cnudde from the LIRA who made this website and the newsletter possible.

We hope this place will be a platform to exchange ideas and produce new avenues of research.
