Abstract

The observed infrared emission from R CrB and RY Sgr can be explained as due to thermal emission from the shell of dust grains surrounding these stars. We have calculated the emission spectrum of the dust shell as a function of the visual magnitude and also the expected flux of the star as a function of the optical depth of the dust shell. The question of the condensation of graphite particles in these stars is briefly discussed.
