Abstract

Nebulae around low mass Wolf-Rayet [WC] stars often show a strong midand near infrared (MN-IR) emission which cannot be explained with asingle grain size and an equilibrium temperature model. Weinvestigated the effect of the grain size, radiation density, andtemperature fluctuations of small dust grains on the spectral energydistribution (SED) in the infrared.A model of ISOCAM and IRAS measurements of V605 Aql (Kimeswenger et al., 1998) has beencomputed using a gas-dust combination model including transiently heatedparticles. Our calculations show that the central knot in V605 Aql(Abell 58) is too compact or just on the lower boundary that temperature fluctuations really have to be considered in model calculations forthe infrared SED.
