Abstract (from CDS):

We present observations of the v=0 J=2-1 thermal emission of SiO from the very luminous evolved star IRC+10420, performed with the Plateau de Bure interferometer. Our high-resolution maps show that the emission comes from a huge hollow shell, with a typical radius of ∼10¹⁷cm, that is expanding at ∼35km/s. This surprising result is strengthened by model fitting of the flux distribution, that explains the observations assuming that the width of the shell is not larger than half its typical radius. The origin of this feature is discussed.
