| Abstract: |
We present the dusty circumstellar envelope of the AGB star IRC+10216 as observed with the ESO/naco and fors1 instruments. On milliarcsecond scales, the regions close to the central star appear very asymmetric and their morphology strongly varies from the J to the L bands. Temporal variations are also reported. On arcmin scales, the arclet structure found in the very extended envelope is resolved into very thin shells owing to the very good spatial resolution of our image. A global view obtained by combining both scales is also presented. |
