AbstractWe intend to analyze the reliability of surface imaging of stars based on high resolution spectroscopy and the technique of inverse problem solution. Both astrophysical and mathematical aspects including different regularization methods are reviewed. The influence of the different factors on the resulting map is discussed and it is shown that the simultaneous use of different kinds of observational data (spectroscopy, photometry, polarimetry etc.) is very useful in providing additional constraints for the solution. The recent results in the surface imaging of Cp- and late-type stars show the way for further progress: the use of more adequate mathematical description of the stellar atmosphere and the simultaneous consideration of various surface inhomogeneities.

Vantage Points

This review presents an updated listing of infrared observations of circumstellar molecules. The compendium is restricted to the more abundant species with infrared spectra accessible to groundbased observations. No analysis is offered on the chemical importance of a particular species, and no attempt is made to correlate the infrared work with the much larger body of data available from radio frequency observations. Some discussions of these topics may be found in the more comprehensive reviews listed below. The observations described here include both the successful and the unrewarded efforts. Often the negative results from attempted observations are not widely disseminated, even though such results can sometimes be of significant theoretical value. Discussions of infrared stellar and circumstellar spectroscopy from other vantage points may be found in the following reviews. in 1979 Merrill and Ridgway surveyed the contributions of infrared spectroscopy to studies of stellar photospheres and the near circumstellar environment. The following year Zuckerman (1980) summarized the current state of knowledge on circumstellar molecular clouds with attention given to both infrared and microwave observations. Ridgway and Keady (1981) subsequently noted the importance of infrared spectroscopy for studies of circumstellar gas and dust in the star IRC + 10216. in 1983 Hinkle reviewed the high-resolution spectroscopy of late-type circumstellar shells in general but emphasized chemistry and kinematics. Finally, in the proceedings of the 1984 UCLA meeting on mass-loss, Omont (1985) reviewed the physical and chemical structure of circumstellar envelopes and IRC + 10216 in particular, and Wannier (1985) discussed the significance of infrared spectroscopy for studies of mass-loss in late-type stars.

Theoretical Predictions

The merits of microcalorimetry below 1°K for high resolution spectroscopy has become widely recognized on theoretical grounds. By combining the high efficiency, broadband spectral sensitivity of traditional photoelectric detectors with the high resolution capabilities characteristic of dispersive spectrometers, the microcalorimeter could potentially revolutionize spectroscopic measurements of astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. In actuality, however, the performance of prototype instruments has fallen short of theoretical predictions and practical detectors are still unavailable for use as laboratory and space-based instruments. These issues are currently being addressed by the new collaborative initiative between LLNL, LBL, U.C.I., U.C.B., and U.C.D.. Microcalorimeters of various types are being developed and tested at temperatures of 1.4, 0.3, and 0.1°K. These include monolithic devices made from NTD Germanium and composite configurations using sapphire substrates with temperature sensors fabricated from NTD Germanium, evaporative films of Germanium-Gold alloy, or material with superconducting transition edges. A new approache to low noise pulse counting electronics has been developed that allows the ultimate speed of the device to be determined solely by the detector thermal response and geometry. Our laboratory studies of the thermal and resistive properties of these and other candidate materials should enable us to characterize the pulse shape and subsequently predict the ultimate performance. We are building a compact adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator for conveniently reaching 0.1°K in the laboratory and for use in future satellite-borne missions. A description of this instrument together with results from our most recent experiments will be presented.
