Abstract

We investigate the evaporation and condensation of corundum and silicon carbide grains around the supernova SN1987A. We predict the time after outburst of the interaction of the condensed dust with pre-existing dust, with a view to undertaking observations with future instrumentation such as the Infra-Red Space Observatory.
