Context. Our current insights into the circumstellar chemistry of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are largely based on studies of carbon-rich stars and stars with high mass-loss rates.
Aims. In order to expand the current molecular inventory of evolved stars we present a spectral scan of the nearby, oxygen-rich star R Dor, a star with a low mass-loss rate (∼2x10^–7M_☉/). '
Methods. We carried out a spectral scan in the frequency ranges 159.0-321.5GHz and 338.5-368.5GHz (wavelength range 0.8-1.9mm) using the SEPIA/Band-5 and SHeFI instruments on the APEX telescope and we compare it to previous surveys, including one of the oxygen-rich AGB star IK Tau, which has a high mass-loss rate (∼5x10^–6M_☉/yr).
Results. The spectrum of R Dor is dominated by emission lines of SO₂ and the different isotopologues of SiO. We also detect CO, H₂O, HCN, CN, PO, PN, SO, and tentatively TiO₂, AlO, and NaCl. Sixteen out of approximately 320 spectral features remain unidentified. Among these is a strong but previously unknown maser at 354.2GHz, which we suggest could pertain to H₂SiO, silanone. With the exception of one, none of these unidentified lines are found in a similarly sensitive survey of IK Tau performed with the IRAM 30 m telescope. We present radiative transfer models for five isotopologues of SiO (²⁸SiO, ²⁹SiO, ³⁰SiO, Si¹⁷O, Si¹⁸O), providing constraints on their fractional abundance and radial extent. We derive isotopic ratios for C, O, Si, and S and estimate that, based on our results for ¹⁷O/¹⁸O, R Dor likely had an initial mass in the range 1.3-1.6M_☉, in agreement with earlier findings based on models of H₂O line emission. From the presence of spectral features recurring in many of the measured thermal and maser emission lines we tentatively identify up to five kinematical components in the outflow of R Dor, indicating deviations from a smooth, spherical wind.
