6–14 μm Spitzer spectra obtained at 6 epochs between 2005 April and 2008 October are used to determine temporal changes in dust features associated with Sakurai’s Object (V4334 Sgr), a low mass post-AGB star that has been forming dust in an eruptive event since 1996. The obscured carbon-rich photosphere is surrounded by a 40-milliarcsec torus and 32 arcsec PN. An initially rapid mid-infrared flux decrease stalled after 2008 April 21. Optically thin emission due to nanometre-sized SiC grains reached a minimum in 2007 October, increased rapidly between 2008 April 21–30 and more slowly to 2008 October. 6.3-μm absorption due to PAHs increased throughout. 20 μm-sized SiC grains might have contributed to the 6–7 μm absorption after 2007 May. Mass estimates based on the optically thick emission agree with those in the absorption features if the large SiC grains formed before 1999 May and PAHs formed in 1999 April–June. Estimated masses of PAH and large-SiC grains in 2008 October, were 3 × 10−9 M⊙ and 10−8 M⊙, respectively. Some of the submicron-sized silicates responsible for a weak 10 μm absorption feature are probably located within the PN because the optical depth decreased between 2007 October and 2008 October. 6.9-μm absorption assigned to ∼10 μm-sized crystalline melilite silicates increased between 2005 April and 2008 October. Abundance and spectroscopic constraints are satisfied if $\lesssim$2.8 per cent of the submicron-sized silicates coagulated to form melilites. This figure is similar to the abundance of melilite-bearing calcium–aluminium-rich inclusions in chondritic meteorites.

Sakurai's Object 中的尘埃变化:新的 PAHs 和 SiC 将亚微米级硅酸盐尘埃凝聚成 10 微米大小的硅铝石颗粒

在 2005 年 4 月至 2008 年 10 月之间的 6 个时期获得的 6–14 μm 斯皮策光谱用于确定与樱井天体 (V4334 Sgr) 相关的尘埃特征的时间变化,这是一颗在喷发事件中形成尘埃的低质量后 AGB 恒星自 1996 年以来。模糊的富含碳的光球被 40 毫弧秒的环面和 32 弧秒的 PN 包围。最初快速的中红外通量下降在 2008 年 4 月 21 日之后停止。由于纳米尺寸的 SiC 晶粒导致的光学薄发射在 2007 年 10 月达到最低值,在 2008 年 4 月 21 日至 30 日期间迅速增加,到 2008 年 10 月期间增长缓慢。由于 PAH 引起的 6.3-μm 吸收自始至终都在增加。20 微米大小的 SiC 晶粒可能对 2007 年 5 月之后的 6-7 微米吸收有贡献。如果 1999 年 5 月之前形成的大 SiC 晶粒和 1999 年 4 月至 6 月形成的 PAH,则基于光学厚发射的质量估计与吸收特征中的估计一致。2008 年 10 月的 PAH 和大 SiC 晶粒的估计质量分别为 3 × 10-9 M⊙ 和 10-8 M⊙。由于光学深度在 2007 年 10 月至 2008 年 10 月之间下降,一些导致 10 μm 弱吸收特征的亚微米级硅酸盐可能位于 PN 内。在 2005 年 4 月至 2008 年 10 月之间,分配给约 10 微米大小的结晶硅石硅酸盐的 6.9 微米吸收增加了。如果 $\lesssim$ 2.8% 的亚微米级硅酸盐凝结形成硅藻土,则丰度和光谱限制得到满足。
