Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared spectroscopy has been obtained for 15 carbon-rich protoplanetary nebulae (PPNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and for two other such stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Of these 17 PPNe, the unidentified 21 ѕ®m feature is strong in 7 spectra, weak in 2 spectra, and very weak or questionable in 4 spectra. ... The remaining two objects show typical carbon-rich PPNe spectra with no 21 ѕ®m features. ...

Figure 1: An averaged OH 1612-MHz spectral profile of V1018 Sco, from 36 separate epochs of observations at Parkes. ... V1018 Sco (IRAS 17317-3331, OH354.88-0.54) is a well known OH/IR star with strong infrared and radio maser emission. The OH 1612-MHz maser spectrum of V1018 Sco, shown in Figure 1, has a double-peaked profile that is characteristic of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars where the maser emission occurs from the outer regions of an expanding circumstellar envelope. ...
