The physics of carbon dust around WC stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
The physical properties of dust in WR shells are investigated in detail. It has been found that carbon grains may grow in the severe conditions of WR shells due to collisions with impinging positive carbon ions. Detailed physical models of carbon dust and dust production rates for selected WC stars have been calculated. It is concluded that graphite rather than amorphous carbon is the most suitable grain material.
