摘要
We present an ISO LWS 43-197 µm grating spectrum of the oxygen-rich AGB star R Cas. The spectrum is rich of isolated and blended H2O lines. For their identification and in order to determine the physical parameters of the circumstellar envelope, we have constructed a model which treats radiative transfer, chemical exchange and photodissociation reactions, and various heating and cooling processes in a consistent manner. By fitting the observed line fluxes and using stellar parameters based upon the Hipparcos distance, we derived a mass-loss rate of M = 1 10-6 M⊙ yr-1 which is close to the value 6 10-7 M⊙ yr-1 previously derived for W Hya, another oxygen-rich AGB star.
