The origin of circumstellar silicon carbide grains found in meteorites

Meteoritics, 1995
Abstract— Condensation calculations for C‐rich circumstellar envelopes are used to model the condensation sequence of C, TiC, and SiC, and trace‐element patterns observed in circumstellar SiC grains. Some properties of carbon star envelopes are briefly discussed, and condensation temperatures for major and trace elements are computed for a wide array ...

Extinction and Abundance Properties of Alpha Scorpii Circumstellar Grains

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 1987
The UV extinction and element depletions in the circumstellar envelope Alpha Sco are investigated using IUE, Copernicus, and AS data of Alpha Sco B which can be seen in absorption through the cool-star envelope. The circumstellar reddening, depletions, and spectral extinction toward Alpha Sco B are estimated.

SiO in C-rich circumstellar envelopes of AGB stars: effects of non-LTE chemistry and grain adsorption

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2006
Aims.New SiO multi-transition millimetre line observations of a sample of carbon stars, including J = $8\rightarrow7$ observations with the APEX telescope, are used to probe the role of non-equilibrium chemistry and the influence of grains in ...

Interstellar and circumstellar grain formation and survival

Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2001
Dust formation is primarily associated with stars in their dying throes, e.g. when low–mass stars reach the red–giant or asymptotic–giant branch (AGB) phase of their evolution, or when massive stars explode as supernovae (SNe). While the contribution of AGB stars to the galactic dust budget is significant, both in terms of variety and quantity, that ...

Stability of amorphous circumstellar silicate grains

Astronomische Nachrichten, 1986
AbstractBerechnungen innerhalb der klassischen Nukleationstheorie zeigen, daß Mg2SiO4‐Staubteilchen mit Radien von etwa 0,1 μm, die sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit im zirkumstellaren Raum um Sterne späten Spektraltyps bilden, bei etwa 750 K auskondensieren müssen, um amorph zu bleiben.

Probing dust grain evolution in IM Lupi's circumstellar disc

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2008
Aims. We present a panchromatic study, involving a multiple technique approach, of the circumstellar disc surrounding the T Tauri star IM Lupi (Sz 82). Methods. We have undertaken a comprehensive observational study of IM Lupi using photometry, spectroscopy, millimetre interferometry and multi-wavelength imaging.

The Infrared Characteristics of Circumstellar Silicate Grains

1985
We have made a theoretical study of the infrared emission from circumstellar shells around late-type giants, with the aim of deriving the infrared characteristics of the silicate grains condensing in these shells. A large grid of models has been compared with observations of optically visible Miras, IRC sources and OH/IR stars.

Optical properties of circumstellar silicate grains

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1991
The optical properties of circumstellar silicate dust grains around oxygen-rich giant stars are investigated with close attention to infrared observations of OH/IR stars. The optical constants are deduced from available astronomical and laboratory data.
