Interior Dust Formation
• 400 – 700 d: bolometric luminosity shifted from optical to FIR;
• Red sides of nebular emission lines vanished
• Visible glow of interior comes mostly from near side. • Morphology determined largely by dust distribution. • Dust obscures central object.• Southern extension is in equatorial plane

Each hydrogen atom crossing RS will produce, on average:

Rexc(Ha)/Rion = 0.2 Ha
Integrated luminosity of Ha amass flux of H atoms across RS.

Lya vs. Ha
• Reverse shock: photon emission ratio Lya/Ha should be 5/1• Ratio should be independent of Doppler velocity
• But actual ratio varies from 10/1 to 200/1 !• Line profiles completely different: unlike Ha, Lya is not confined
to surface; appears to come from interior
(We should have realized this in 2004): There must be another mechanism to account for most Ly a emission!
Two possiblities (maybe both):1. Resonant scattering of narrow Lya from the ring by HI in debris2. Heating of HI in debris by external X-rays

Resonance Scattering of Lya by Supernova Debris
Source of Lya is nearly stationary emission from hotspots in circumstellar ring
Model requires:aSufficient luminosity of Lya photons from hotspots to account for broad Lya;aSufficient optical depth of SN envelope in damping wings of Lya @ 5000 km/s.

Carbon/Nitrogen Ratio
Standard cosmic abundance ratio: C/N = 4.1
Narrow UV emission lines from ring a C/N = 0.11
Broad UV emission lines from RS a C/N = 0.05
Interpretation: • nuclear burning (CNO bi-cycle) converts C, O into
N. This explains decreased C/N ratio in ring.
• Further decrease of C/N ratio seen in RS a either: (a) stratification of C/N ratio in outer envelope of progenitor; or (b) continued nucleosynthesis subsequent to ejection of ring.

New Far Infrared Results from Herschel Telescope
250 mm emission has been interpreted as continuum emission from interior dust grains (Matsuura et al 2011). This requires ~ 0.6 solar masses of dust at 18K !!??.
Even if CO (2.6 mm) line emission is 1% of dust emission, ALMA will see it.
If so, ALMA will provide a 3-d map of the interior CO emitting region.

HeII 1640: analogue of Ha:

But line profiles are different, because He+ can be accelerated in shocked gas.
