Scientific paper

The authors present infrared spectrophotometry of 20 symbiotic stars, mostly of the dust-rich variety. HDE330036 is unique in showing an emission feature at 11.3 μm. The remainder combine a hot grey component and/or optically thin silicate emission. A model in which the grey component is due to optically thick silicate dust is not consistent with the spectra. The authors propose instead that iron-based grains, expected to form in the ejecta of cool stars, are heated by the ultraviolet radiation field of the hot companion.
