Abstract

We have monitored the spectral variations of the carbon rich AGB star R Scl in the 2-45 œm range using the ISO-SWS instrument. We have also computed hydrostatic and hydrodynamic model atmospheres and corresponding synthetic spectra representative for two phases of R Scl. There is good qualitative agreement between observations and models in the near IR. This demonstrates the theoretical progress and the potential of analysing carbon star spectra with self-consistent dynamical models.
