SOFIA Witnesses the Emergence of a Carbon Star
Date
Three-dimensional model using Moccasin , a self-consistent 3-D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code. The blue dotted line is the total spectrum given by the model. The contributions of O-rich and C-rich dust are shown respectively in cyan and in pink. The green crosses are SOFIA flux measurements in filters that include dust features. The red line is an ISO spectrum.
