摘要:

在演化恒星的星周环境中无机尘埃的形成知之甚少。最近在红超巨星VY CMa中检测到了被认为对成核最重要的分子,即AlO,TiO和TiO 2的光谱。这些分子有效地形成在VY CMa和观察表明,非平衡化学必须参与其形成和成核成尘。除了探索最近的观测VY CMa,我们简要讨论了检测这些分子的尘埃贫拱环境中的参宿四的可能性。

英文摘要:

The formation of inorganic dust in circumstellar environments of evolved stars is poorly understood. Spectra of molecules thought to be most important for the nucleation, i.e. AlO, TiO, and TiO2, have been recently detected in the red supergiant VY CMa. These molecules are effectively formed in VY CMa and the observations suggest that non-equilibrium chemistry must be involved in their formation and nucleation into dust. In addition to exploring the recent observations of VY CMa, we briefly discuss the possibility of detecting these molecules in the dust-poor circumstellar environment of Betelgeuse.
