Scientific paper

Condensation of metallic iron or the iron carbide cohenite Fe3C is proposed as the source of the approximately 1000 K dust condensate in nova shells, Wolf-Rayet stars, and other objects. Iron grains may serve as nucleation sites for carbon in carbon-star ejecta; however, nucleation of graphite at its equilibrium saturation temperature is almost certainly kinetically inhibited. A gas phase rich in CO, C2H2, and HCN is produced instead.
