Circumstellar Dust Shells
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
The optical properties of circumstellar graphite particle shells are considered. In the case of the optically thin shell (e.g. the shell of a RCB star after minimum), the temperature of the grains is calculated. It is shown that the dust shell always has a sharp inner border. The RCB phenomenon may be considered as a sudden moving of this border toward the star and the consequent increase in its optical thickness.
