THE PROBLEM Aim: address mathematical issues related to the reconstruction in space (deprojection) of the CSEs of axial stars Restriction: evolved stars and protostars in mm/sub-mm (typically CO) Input data are sky coordinates, y and z, Doppler velocity along the line of sight x, Vxand flux density f(y,z,Vx). Quantities to evaluate are space coordinates, x, y and z, density d, temperature T, velocity components Vx, Vyand Vz. Eight instead of four: we need additional assumptions.
x ξ (Star axis) θ y’ ψ η y (East) θ ζ z’ COORDINATES Line of sight: x Sky plane: East y, Northz Polar coordinate of pixel on the sky (R,φ) R=(y2+z2)½ ; tanφ=z/y Star axis: ξ makes an angle θ with x projects on sky plane at angle ψ with z Stellar latitude α Stellar longitude ω ξ=xcosθ+Rsinθsin(φ–ψ) η=Rcos(φ–ψ) ζ=–xsinθ+Rcosθsin(φ–ψ) z (North) r=(x2+y2+z2)½
For most of their life, AGB stars have a small mass-loss rate, ~10‒7 solar masses per year, the shape of the gas volume is not much affected, the bipolar outflow is seen mainly on the wind velocity The velocity components are a radial component Vrad an axial component Vax a rotation componentVrot Under the hypothesis of rotation invariance about the star axis, theyare functions of r and sinα exclusively, independent of ω Vx=xVrad/r+cosθVax−Rcos(φ–ψ)sinθVrot/(rcosα)
We introduce an effective emissivity ρ ρ(x,y,z)=f(y,z,Vx)dVx/dx, implying ∫f(y,z,Vx)dVx=∫ρ(x,y,z)dx=F(y,z) ρ is a function of: the gas density, the abundance of the emitting gas, the population of the emitting quantum state and the probabilities of emission and absorption of the detected radiation. It replaces d and T. It saves another degree of freedom in addition to rotational invariance. T and d can be evaluated separately if we have data on two molecular lines.
Case A Case B Vrot Vrad α α (star latitude) 0 45o 90o 0 45o 90o (Equator) (Pole) Simulations are for a centrally symmetric star, ρ(x,y,z)=ρ(–x,–y,–z)V(x,y,z)=–V(–x,–y,–z)with rotation symmetry about the star axisand no axial wind (radial expansion+rotation)ρis taken proportional to r–2For each of two cases (A & B), study is made for: pure expansion, expansion+rotation and pure rotation V0

Mixing rotation and expansion is simple incase B: x probes either inside the cone where it sees only expansion or outside where it sees only rotation. 2π π 0 φ θ=45o −10 0 10 −10 0 10 Pure expansion Mixed rot/exp Pure rotation Mixed configurations: simply the superposition of pure expansion and rotation −10 0 10 V (km/s) 8
The sky map of <Vx> is not sufficient to evaluate ψSpiraling mixes the effects of rotation and expansionTo tell rotation around axis A from expansion along axis B perpendicular to A we need a more refined method.
Inclination θ of the star axis with respect to the line of sight with Modeling Writing
Telling rotation from expansion sum extends over ±Vx Pure rotation Pure expansion Average over R: Pure expansion Pure rotation Aas(φ)=0 for both θ = 90◦ and θ = 0◦ and is always smaller than unity. Independently from both ϕ and θ The value of A(ϕ) at ϕ = 0◦, ϕ = 90◦ or its integral over ϕ should be good indicators of the relative importance of rotation over expansion
Radial dependence of the CSE properties • ρ(x,y,z)~r−nproduces a ∫ρ(x,y,z)dx ~R−(n−1) on the sky map • These results illustrate the advantage of displaying the measured flux densities in terms of polar rather than Cartesian coordinates on the sky plane: • Their dependence on R is related simply to the dependence on r of the effective emissivity and wind velocity, • Their dependence on ϕ is related to the dependence of the effective emissivity and wind velocity on ψ, θ and αwithout having recourse to a model • Much information about the morphology and kinematics of the CSE can be obtained from simple quantities constructed directly from the expression of the flux densities in polar coordinates.

Conclusions • Before undertaking modelling, a firstclose look at the data without requiring the help of a model, inparticular, the sky maps of RF(y, z), of Vx and of |Vx| and theirprojections on the R and ϕ axes provides essential information. • Use should be made ofsimple quantities that carry important information. Examples havebeen given, such as χ2ψ and A(ϕ), which may help the evaluationsof the orientation of the star axis in space and of the relative contributionsof expansion along the star axis and rotation about it. • We have argued thatusing P–V diagrams in polar rather than Cartesian coordinates is oftenbetter suited to making the best of them. 18
