ISO-SWS Spectroscopy of B[e] Stars

We present ISO-SWS spectra of B[e] stars. We find a wide diversity of spectral characteristics of B[e] stars, suggesting different origins for the circumstellar matter. Most B[e] supergiants show hot dust with weak amorphous silicate emission. MWC 300 has a warm dust shell with strong crystalline si...

Zusammenfassung:We present ISO-SWS spectra of B[e] stars. We find a wide diversity of spectral characteristics of B[e] stars, suggesting different origins for the circumstellar matter. Most B[e] supergiants show hot dust with weak amorphous silicate emission. MWC 300 has a warm dust shell with strong crystalline silicate emission; its evolutionary status is unclear.
