The mineralogy, geometry and mass-loss history of IRAS 16342โ3814
We present the m Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) spectrum and m ISAAC and TIMMI2 images of the extreme OH/IR star IRAS 16342โ3814. Amorphous silicate absorption features are seen at 10 and m, together with crystalline silicate absorption features up to almost m. No other OH/IR star is known to have โฆ
