A „standard” model
 Equillibrium chemical models predict that
chemical processes depend on the ratio C/O:
 molecules:
n(C)/n(O)>1 => CO, HCN, C2H2, ...
n(O)/n(C)>1 => CO, SiO, H2O, ...
 dust:
n(C)/n(O)>1 => C-based: AC, graphite, PAH,
C60, ...
n(O)/n(C)>1 => O-based, silicates (amorphous
and crystalline)
NCAC
TORUN
 Therefore it was (and still is, in some cases)
surprising to observe O-based dust (silicates) and
O-rich molecules (like OH and H2O) from
envelopes around C-stars.

Galactic Bulge
• Is composed (mostly) of old stellar population
(older than 10 Gyr) => low mass stars (~1.5 Mo)
• Metallicity is (rather) larger than (or
comparable to) the solar metallicity
• In such environment (i.e. low stellar mass &
large metallicity) theory predicts:
no efficient dredge-up (of carbon) to the stellar
surface during AGB (no production of C-stars)
(Piovan et al. 2003)

SOLUTION
• There is no C-stars toward GB
• crystalline silicates are seen only in OH/IR stars from GB
• Close binary companions are known for only 10-20% of GB PNe
•Galactic Bulge PNe are formed simultaneously with
mixing of C-rich material to the surface at the end of AGB
evolution from OH/IR stars:
THE FATAL THERMAL PULSE!
which not always mixed Hydrogen out!

* Spitzer allowed IR investigation of PNe from the GB.
* Most of the observed GBPNe show mixed chemistry and
(almost?) all show crystalline silicates, while there are no Cstars in the GB and „normal”AGB stars do not show
crystalline silicates.
•Thus, we may expect violent „end of AGB evolution in
OH/IR stars” due to the last thermal pulse which (can) mixe
carbon to the surface.
* Mass & metallicity play an important role in formation of
PNe

David Lambert and worked with him on search of fullerenes
in environments where they should be, i.e. in H-poor R CrB
stars

Plans in June 2010
• Letizia Stanghellini observed about 160 Galactic (mostly
disk) PNe & 40 in SMC/LMC: she was also at that time in
ESAC
• 3 additional PNe in her samples showed signatures of
C60 – 2 from MW and 1 from SMC
• We have decided to prepare paper to Science or Nature
....... after summer holidays
But ....
Cami et al. 2010, Science 329, 1180 (Jul/Sep) : Tc 1 – must be H-poor
(fatal thermal pulse), so fullerenes can form.

ABSTRACT:
The gaseous products evolved from solid hydrogenated amorphous
carbon (HAC) under UV irradiation have been sampled using time of
flight (TOF) mass spectrometry. A notable feature is the appearance of …
fullerenes such as C50 , C60 , and C70 . There is also evidence in these
mass spectra for the ejection of small dehydrogenated polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules….., which ….show absorption
and emission features at 3.3, 3.4, and 6.2 mm and other wavelengths
characteristic of PAH molecules.
These experiment show that the decomposition of
HAC in circumstellar or interstellar shocks may be a
source of large PAH and fullerene molecules!

Some facts
 1970: C60 was predicted by E. Osawa
 1985: C60 and other fullerenes were created in
laboratory by H. Kroto, R. Curl, & R. Smalley (Nobel
Prize in chemistry – 1996)
Named after Richard Buckminster Fuller – a noted
architect of geodesic domes (seen from lab in Dallas):
„Buckyballs”, „Buckminsterfullerenes”, „Fullerenes”
Some facts
 1991: Donald Huffman & Wolfgang Krätschmer showed
easy way to form fullerenes:
Burning of graphite in H-poor (He-rich) environment
 Nice article – interview of Donald Huffman

Interview of Huffman
Now, 25 years after the discovery, Huffman is excited that astronomers
using the Spitzer Space Telescope have found evidence for the complex
carbon molecule in near and distant galaxies.
The discoveries in space and the award of the Nobel Prize in physics this
year for another carbon form, graphene, made the subject much more
topical, he said.
Huffman said it's enough to send him back to the lab with some new
ideas 10 years after his retirement from the University of Arizona.

4.Water in envelopes of C-rich stars
(Herschel)
Water is an axisymmetric rotator:
something in-between:
oblate top (disc-like) and
prolate top (cigar-like)
NCAC
TORUN
 Equillibrium chemical models predict that
almost no water is formed in C-rich stars:
n(C)/n(O)>1 => CO, HCN, C2H2, ...
n(O)/n(C)>1 => CO, H2O, ...
 2001: Water (ortho-ground level transition @
557 GHz) was detected in C-rich star: IRC+10216
by SWAS – Melnick et al. (2001, Nature, 412, 160)
 Estimated amount of water relative to H2 was 424 x 10-7
Only then high and low excitation water lines can be observed
557
GHz
NCAC
TORUN
Different models predict different water
location:
 Inner envelope shocks -> water present close to
the star
 Kuiper belt vaporization -> no water within ~100
AU
 Fischer-Tropsch catalysis -> no water within
~100 AU
 Outer envelope chemistry -> no water within
1000 AU.
