Abstract

We compare in a systematic way spectrometric, photometric and

mid-infrared (VLTI/MIDI) interferometric measurements with different

types of model atmospheres. Self-consistent dynamic model atmospheres in

particular were used to interpret in a consistent way the dynamic

behavior of gas and dust. The results underline how the joint use of

different kind of observations, as photometry, spectroscopy and

interferometry, is essential to understand the atmospheres of pulsating

C-rich AGB stars. The sample of C-rich stars discussed in this work

provides crucial constraints for the atmospheric structure.
