High resolution spectra of red giants and long period variables exhibit lines of infrared CO vibration-rotation bands arising in circumstellar material. In the few such stars so far observed at very high resolution (≲ 1 km/s) the circumstellar material appears localized in 3 distinct regimes with temperatures of 800K, 200K and 75K and expansion velocities of 0, 10 and 16 km/s rather than being uniformly distributed.
