Ca. Grady et al., THE INTERMITTENTLY EMBEDDED HERBIG AE BE STARS - ISO AND GROUND-BASEDIR OBSERVATIONS/, Astrophysics and space science, 255(1-2), 1998, pp. 35-42
We discuss silicate emission profiles observed with the ISO SWS and gr
ound-based IR observations in a population of intermittently embedded
Herbig Ae/Be stars which are viewed edge-on to their polarimetrically
identified dust and gas disks. The ISO SWS observations confirm the la
ck of a simple correlation between system age and the profile shape. C
omparison with laboratory silicates suggests that much of the observed
variation is due to different annealing histories of the grains.
