High-Temperature Optical Constants of Dust Analogues for the Solar Nebula
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 February 2013
Abstract
The dust in protoplanetary disks is influenced by many different processes. Among others, heating processes are the most important ones: they change not only the physical and chemical properties of dust particles, but also their emission spectra. In order to compare observed infrared spectra of young stellar systems with laboratory data of hot (up to 655°C) circumstellar dust analogues, we investigate materials, which are important constituents of dust in protoplanetary disks. We calculated the optical constants by means of a simple Lorentzian oscillator fit and applied them to simulations of small-particle emission spectra in order to compare our results with real astronomical spectra of AGB-stars and protoplanetary disks.
