The infrared view of dust and molecules around V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object): a 20-year retrospective

A. Evans, R. D. Gehrz, C. E. Woodward +16

We present an analysis of the evolution of circumstellar dust and molecules in the environment of the very late thermal pulse object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) over a -ye…

Gas phase SiO in the circumstellar environment of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis

A. Evans, Ya. V. Pavlenko, D. P. K. Banerjee +9

We report the discovery of the diatomic molecule SiO in the gas phase in the environment of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis. While some of the SiO is photospheric, a substant…

The Unexpected Spectrum of the Innermost Ejecta of the Red Hypergiant VY CMa

Roberta M. Humphreys, L. M. Ziurys, J. J. Bernal +6

HST/STIS spectra of the small clumps and filaments closest to the central star in VY CMa reveal that the very strong K I emission and TiO and VO molecular emission, long thought to…

A SOFIA FORCAST Grism Study of the Mineralogy of Dust in the Winds of Proto-planetary Nebulae: RV Tauri Stars and SRd Variables

R. A. Arneson, R. D. Gehrz, C. E. Woodward +10

We present a SOFIA FORCAST grism spectroscopic survey to examine the mineralogy of the circumstellar dust in a sample of post-asymptotic giant branch yellow supergiants that are be…
