Scientific paper

New observations were obtained for the OH/IR star IRC +10420, including optical/infrared imaging, spectroscopy, polarimetry, and photometry. The observations, which indicate a very rich and complex circumstellar environment for the star. A model for IRC +10420 star is proposed, in which a true core-burning supergiant is surrounded by a rotating equatorial disk of gas and dust that is viewed from about midway above the plate.
