| Abstract: |
We present an overview of our project to study the extended atmospheres
and dust formation zones of Mira stars using coordinated observations
with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), the Very Long
Baseline Array (VLBA), and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX).
The data are interpreted using an approach of combining recent
dynamic model atmospheres with a radiative transfer model of the dust
shell, and combining the resulting model structure with a maser
propagation model. |
