Stellar Notes
L 6.2 - 7.10V. IR observations of red giant in reflection nebula suggest star is losing mass and becoming a planetary | nebula. Circumstellar reflection nebula probably related to a hotter companion.
Strong IR excess probably due to carbon-rich material.
In reflection neb. IC 2220; in region of open cluster NGC 2516.
Emission feature at 10 and 20 micrometers attributed to silicate grains in circumstellar shell.
