| 内容記述 | The paper reports 1.25-19.5-micron IR photometry and optical/IR spectroscopy of Nova QV Vul (1987) from November 1987 through September 1989. The measurements show that an optically thick carbon dust shell formed within 83 d of the outburst, and that the spectral signatures of four types of astrophysical grains appeared at various times during a 2-yr period following the eruption. Carbon, SiC, and hydrocarbons formed first; oxygen-rich silicates formed later. It is suggested that the carbon dust components formed in fast-moving polar flumes, and that the silicates formed in a slow-moving equatorial ring. Mass estimates from the IR photometry and optical spectroscopy confirm that grain condensation in both the slow and fast ejecta of QV Vul is consistent with constraints established by previous observations of other dusty novae. It is concluded that the condensible elements in these grains were present in approximately solar abundance. |
