Scientific paper

Semiregular pulsations of R CrB stars are shown to play the leading part of the total-light variability. The total-light fadings of R CrB stars begin at definite phases of these pulsations when a dust cloud of large optical depth appears, localized initially in a restricted region of the upper atmosphere. The expansion of the cloud up to the size of a permanent dust envelope, in which the IR flux originates, is the cause of the observed pattern of light and colour-index variations.
