Fig. 1

Montage of CO spectra of S stars in which 13CO lines are visible. The main beam (observed) temperature, Tmb, is the ordinate in units of mK. 13CO and 12CO transitions are identified in the upper left corners of each panel along with the integrated line fluxes and the rms of Tmb. More saturated lines tend to exhibit flatter profile tops. Note that the relatively unsaturated 13CO lines invariably show double peaks. This is characteristic of uniform spherical expansion in a partially resolved envelope (see text).
