Aims.
The study of the molecular gas in the circumstellar envelopes of evolved stars is normally undertaken by observing lines of
CO (and other species) in the millimetre-wave domain. In general, the excitation requirements of the observed lines are low at these
wavelengths, and therefore these observations predominantly probe the cold outer envelope while studying the warm inner regions of
the envelopes normally requires sub-millimetre (sub-mm) and far-infrared (FIR) observational data… Expand
