CPD : the dust chemistry – binarity connection Orsola De Marco American Museum of Natural History New York

[WC10] [WC9] Waters et al. (1998) PAH C-rich dust Silicates O-rich dust = O rich = C rich Legend: C -O - Hot C - AND O - rich dust 80% of [WCL] 6% of normal CSPN

[WCL] stars were O-rich AGB stars in the last yr. The 1 st TP to make the star C-rich, also caused AGB departure. (Waters et al. 1998, Cohen et al. 1999). This is not supported by evolutionary models. (Herwig 1999, 2000, priv. comm.) Single star interpretation

Alternative interpretation O-rich dust disk predating the AGB star (Oort cloud). (e.g. Cohen et al. 1999) O-dust disk forms during the early AGB (binary action). (e.g. Cohen et al. 2002, De Marco et al. 2002)

Interpret: Binary with circumbinary disk: orbiting clumps, orbiting CPD, precessing disc. Generalize: [WC] have binary outside common envelope, make disk, star becomes [WC] by normal single star scenario or binary-enhanced mass-loss. However: Why are there no more “double-dust” normal CS? Might we not expect more bipolar PNe around [WC]s? Why are there are binary normal CS. Alternative: Some phenomenon leading to “double dust” AND [WC] star. Common envelope?

That's all folks!

Another scenario: common envelope Tidally-destroyed planet forms a rotating disk H envelope: O-rich, C/O~0.4 H shell source He shell source: C-rich, C/O~5 CO core De Marco & Soker (2002)

Convection between the H and He shell is enhanced by shear mixing and helium mixes in with the hydrogen. Mass-loss from the envelope is enhanced. (1) Enhanced dredge-up: He gas with C/O>1 mixes in with H-shell gas (C/O 1 mixes in with H-shell gas (C/O<1) Enriched envelope departs

We are left with a H-poor stellar core. He is fully mixed and there is little or no H left

The physics: Is this possible? Can we test it observationally? Shape of the PN, lack of binarity for [WC] central stars, possible abundance anomalies. The precondition: At least 12% of all stars that form PNe have companions in the mass- range Mo at distances 3-10AU.
