Figure 2: Flux density of the H2O masers of RX Boo as a function of velocity and time. The time axis covers the years 1987-2007. The time stamp t=0 corresponds to 1987 March 30 (JD 2 446 885). The dotted horizontal lines mark the actual observations averaged in 4-day intervals. Flux densities in between the observations were interpolated linearly. The spectra were resampled to a resolution of 0.3 km s-1. The dashed vertical line marks the stellar systemic velocity (1 km s-1) as given by Teyssier et al. (2006). Contours are drawn at levels 3.00, 8.49, 24.03, 68.02, 192.51, 544.85 Jy (logarithmic scale). These six levels are indicated by black and white lines in the flux scale along the right side of the map. (For a colour version of this figure, see the electronic edition.) |

Figure 4:
All the maser components listed in Table 3 plotted on the sky. Each component is represented by a symbol and a circle whose diameter is logarithmically proportional to the flux density of the component (see text for the mathematical expression). The epochs are represented by different symbols: 1990 February by small circles; 1990 June by asterisks; 1991 October by plus signs; 1992 December by crosses. The circles around the components are colour coded according to the line-of-sight velocity of the component (

Figure 5: The absolute value of the line-of-sight velocity relative to that of the star (1 km s-1) plotted against the projected distance of all the spatial components listed in Table 3 from the origin (the central star). The epochs are represented by the same symbols as in Fig. 4. Five of the components (marked by surrounding circles) fit accurately to an ellipse (dotted line) centred on the origin and with its axes along the coordinate axes of the diagram. If the expansion of the stellar envelope is isotropic, this suggests that there exists an inner distance (14-16 AU) at a certain expansion velociy (4-6 km s-1) where water vapour masers first appear in the expanding gas. |

Figure 6: The model expansion velocity as a function of the distance from the star (Eq. (3)). It approaches the terminal velocity (8.4 km s-1) asymptotically (horizontal straight line). The dots along the expansion law curve symbolise the distances and velocities of the masercomponents. |

Figure 7: The three-dimensional distribution of maser components and their associated velocities according to the expansion model given by Eq. (3). The distribution is seen from three cardinal directions: on the sky a), ``from the side'' b) and ``from above'' c). The maser components are represented by the same symbols as earlier. In addition the projected expansion velocities and the line-of-sight velocities are shown in the same scale in units of km s-1 as the distance scale in units of AU. |

Figure 8: Flux density of the H2O maser of SV Peg as a function of velocity and time. The time axis covers the years 1990-1995 ( bottom) and 2000-2007 ( top). The time stamp t=0 corresponds to 1990 February 17 (JD 2 447 933). The dotted horizontal lines mark the actual observations averaged in 4-day intervals. Flux densities in between the observations were interpolated linearly. The dashed vertical line marks the stellar systemic velocity (5 km s-1) as given by Kerschbaum & Olofsson (1999). The spectra were resampled to a resolution of 0.3 km s-1. Contours in the lower panel are drawn at levels 3.00, 4.19, 5.86, 8.18, 11.43, 15.97 Jy (logarithmic scale) and in the upper panel at 3.00, 4.40, 6.45, 9.45, 13.86, 20.32 Jy. These levels are indicated by black and white lines in the flux scales along the right side of the two maps. (For a colour version of this figure, see the electronic edition.) |
