- Abstract
Time series of near-IR spectra are used to explore the cool molecular region between the photosphere and expanding circumstellar shell in large amplitude (Mira) AGB variables. The ~1000 K Mira "MOLsphere" is shown to undergo large amplitude velocity changes that are aperiodic with time scales many times longer than the photospheric pulsation.
