The Extended Atmosphere and Evolution of the RV Tau Star R Scuti
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
We identify H2O, CO, SiO and CO2 bands in near-infrared ISO/SWS spectra of the RV Tau star R Sct. These molecules originate from an atmosphere around the photosphere. RV Tau stars are commonly considered as post-AGB stars. We argue that R Sct may be a thermal-pulsing AGB star, observed in a helium-burning phase.
