摘要
We present 8-13 mu m spectroscopy of Beta Pictoris which confirms the presence of silicate emission in its infrared excess, as earlier reported on the basis of narrow-band photometry, and indicates a similarity with cometary dust. The spectral form of the infrared excess allows us to place an upper limit of 2-3 mu m on the size of the emitting grains in the circumstellar disc.
