Crystalline silicate feature of the Vega-like star HD 145263

We have observed the 8-13 mum spectrum (R similar to 250) of the Vega-like star candidate HD 145263 using Subaru/COMICS. The spectrum of HD 145263 shows the broad trapezoidal silicate feature with the shoulders at 9.3 and 11.44 mum, indicating the presence of crystalline silicate grains. This detection implies that crystalline silicate may also be commonly present around Vega-like stars. The 11.44 mum feature is slightly shifted to a longer wavelength compared to the usual 11.2 - 3 mum crystalline forsterite feature detected toward Herbig Ae/Be stars and T Tauri stars. Although the peak shift due to the effects of the grain size cannot be ruled out, we suggest that Fe-bearing crystalline olivine explains the observed peak wavelength fairly well. Fe-bearing silicates are commonly found in meteorites and most interplanetary dust particles, which originate from planetesimal-like asteroids. According to studies of meteorites, Fe-bearing silicate must have been formed in asteroidal planetesimals, supporting the scenario that dust grains around Vega-like stars are of planetesimal origin, if the observed 11.44 mum peak is due to Fe-bearing silicates.
