CO Observations of the Expanding Envelope of IRC+10216 (8),

Abstract

The authors report high-sensitivity emission profiles from the J = 0-1 transitions of (12C16O) and (13C16O) towards IRC+10216. It appears that the spherically symmetric uniform mass-outflow model proposed by Morris (1975) is necessary to describe the line profiles. The outflow appears to be slightly accelerated, having a velocity of 15 km/sec at the edges of the CO cloud, compared with 12 km/sec for the more centrally confined molecules.
