Description At the end of their lives, low and intermediate mass stars lose
a significant fraction of their mass via a copious mass loss through
cool, low-velocity winds (v virgul 10 km/s). After several decades of
study, the exact mechanisms triggering this mass loss are still not
understood in all detail, but it is generally accepted that pulsations
and dust formation play a crucial role. Using these two ingredients,
the wind acceleration in the envelope surrounding the stars can be
predicted. Herschel/HIFI has the unique capability to study the line
profiles of many molecules excited in the circumstellar envelopes,
hence enabling us to assess the wind velocity profile in evolved
stars. While the HIFI data indeed show for some targets an
acceleration of the wind, the widths of the lines in 2 oxygen-rich
evolved stars are larger for the high-excitation lines compared
to the low-excitation ones, suggesting a deceleration of the wind.
This wind profile is completely unexpected, and can currently not
be explained. However, the current dataset at hand is too scarce
and not well sampled in terms of excitation energy levels. We
therefore request Herschel/HIFI observing time to gather a series
of SiO rotational lines in both the ground and first vibrational state
to deduce with high accuracy the wind acceleration/deceleration
in two oxygen-rich evolved stars. This will enable us to clarify the
role of dust formation and pulsations in the onset of the stellar
wind around low and intermediate mass stars.

Mission Description Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
