Are the silicate crystallinities of oxygen-rich evolved stars related to their mass loss rates?
Abstract
A sample of 28 oxygen-rich evolved stars is selected based on the presence of crystalline silicate emission features in their ISO/SWS spectra. The crystallinity, measured as the flux fraction of crystalline silicate features, is found not related to mass loss rate that is derived from fitting the spectral energy distribution.
