Scientific paper

This is the fourth paper in a series of multi-epoch observations at 7 mm wavelength of the SiO masers in several asymptotic giant branch stars from a sample of Mira variable stars showing evidence of asymmetric structure in the infrared. These stars have been observed interferometrically in the infrared by IOTA and with VLBA measurements of the SiO masers. In this paper, we present the observations of χ Cygni (χ Cyg), R Aquilae (R Aql), R Leo Minoris (R LMi), RU Herculis (RU Her), U Herculis (U Her), and U Orionis (U Ori). Several radial features with velocity gradients were observed, all with velocities close to systemic furthest from the star and redshifted closer to the stellar surface. Systemic velocities are estimated for several of the stars. No compelling evidence of asymmetry is seen in the maser distributions. All maser rings are approximately twice the near-IR uniform disk diameter and are comparable in size to the extended molecular envelope when such measurements are available.
