Carbon Stars: Circumstellar Dust

Scientific paper

Silicon carbide (SiC) is known to form in circumstellar shells around carbon stars. SiC can come in two basic types - hexagonal α-SiC or cubic β-SiC. Laboratory studies have shown that both types of SiC exhibit an emission feature in the 11 - 11.5 μm region, the size and shape of the feature varying with type, size and shape of the SiC grains. The aim of the current work is to identify the type(s) of SiC found in circumstellar shells and how they might relate to meteoritic SiC samples.
