Description

Spectra are presented with a resolving power lambda/Δ lambda approx. 1100 of the dusty Wolf-Rayet star Ve 2-45 and the southern H II region G333.6-0.2. An upper limit on the equivalent width of any features in the range 11.0 to 13.0μm is determined to be 0.0022μm towards Ve 2-45. This figure is compared with the predicted strength of the unobserved narrow feature at 11.52μm which has been proposed to be associated with small graphite grains. (author)
