Scientific paper

The authors advocate an alternative model of mass loss from red giant and supergiant stars. They suggest that the stars are ejecting dense knots of cool molecular gas; the typical size of a knot is <0.1 × the radius of the star and typical density nH2 < 1012cm-3 (Alcock and Ross, 1985). This model may resolve significant problems in the interpretation of the maser emission.
