Paper Title
Analysis of Silicon-Based Molecules in Irc+10216
Abstract
This paper presents a review of analysis of the spectrum of the IRC+10216 created from the data obtained from NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive. The detailed analysis of this spectrum gives us an idea about the peaks that have been observed which corresponds to the presence of various types of molecules such as SiO, SiC, HCN, and so on. The transition levels in which these molecules exist and show their presence in the spectrum of the star can also be determined from this information. This can help us determine how the formation of molecules takes place around the circumstellar envelope of Carbon stars that are in their later years of their life cycle.
