Scientific paper

Combined Infrared Space Observatory Short-Wavelength Spectrometer and Long-Wavelength Spectrometer spectroscopy is presented of the late WC-type planetary nebula nucleus CPD -56 deg8032 and its carbon-rich nebula. The extremely broad coverage (2.4-197 μm) enables us to recognize the clear and simultaneous presence of emission features from both oxygen- and carbon-rich circumstellar materials. Removing a smooth continuum highlights bright emission bands characteristic of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the 3-14 μm region, bands from crystalline silicates longward of 18 mum, and the 43 and 62 μm bands of crystalline water ice. We discuss the probable evolutionary state and history of this unusual object in terms of (a) a recent transition from an O-rich to a C-rich outflow following a helium shell flash or (b) a carbon-rich nebular outflow encountering an O-rich comet cloud.
