Abstract: |
Accurate modelling of sensitive, and spectrally resolved, observations
of H2O emisison lines is important for understanding the physics
and chemistry of circumstellar envelopes around AGB stars. We present
detailed non-local, non-LTE models of H2O emission lines observed
towards the S-type AGB star χ Cyg with the HIFI instrument onboard
Herschel. The models demonstrate the ability to constrain important
physical and chemical parameters in the inner CSE close to the central
star, emphasizing the importance of high-quality data from HIFI combined
with detailed radiative transfer models. |
