Abstract

We present synthetic ISO-SWS spectra of oxygen-rich cool giants for the wavelength range between 2.36 and 7.75 μm. These are based on hydrostatic as well as on completely new dynamical models which have been calculated with a non-grey radiative transfer including molecular opacities. It turns out that many features in the ISO spectra which could not be reproduced within the framework of classical model atmospheres can now be understood without any additional assumptions.
