Figure 8: Results of the chemical model of IRAS 16594-4656. The figure shows the variation of the fractional abundances (or ratios, in the lower row of axes) of selected species radially through the expanding circumstellar envelope at different points in time (measured in years since the cessation of mass-loss). The shading marks the passage of the inner edge of the circumstellar envelope. As can be seen at long times (5000 yr), only CO is reasonably abundant. The three sets of axes labelled "0 yr'' show the results of a standard AGB model (see Sect. 6.3.2). |
