Infrared astronomical observations of oxygen-rich young and evolved stars show that only magnesium-rich crystalline silicates exist in circumstellar regions, and iron, one of the most important dust-forming elements, is extremely depleted. The com...
In order to clarify the crystallization process of silicates in circumstellar environments around young and evolved stars, we performed a laboratory simulation of the crystallization of silicate materials by use of synthetic samples in the MgO-SiO...
In order to make clear crystallization process of silicates in circumstellar environments of oxygen-rich young stars, we have performed laboratory experiments on crystallization of a silicate material by use of a synthetic sample with the chondrit...
The infrared optical properties and absorption spectra of the melilite solid solution series are reported. Melilite is a high-temperature condensate, and is expected to condense during the early phase of the condensation sequence. In this study, s...
