摘要: Abstract : Aims. We investigate the structure and shape of photospheric molecular layers atmospheres four Mira variables. Methods. obtained near-infrared K-band spectro-interferometric observations variables R Cnc, X Hya, W Vel, RW Vel with a spectral resolution about 1500 using AMBER instrument at VLTI. concurrent JHKL photometry Mk II SAAO. Results. The stars in our sample are found to have wavelength-dependent visibility values that consistent earlier low-resolution S Ori predictions dynamic model atmosphere series based on self-excited pulsation models. corresponding uniform disk (UD) diameters show minimum near near-continuum bandpass 2.25 mum. They then increase by up 30% toward H2O band 2.0 mum 70% CO bandheads between 2.29 2.48 wavelength-dependence, their parameters such as visual phase, effective temperature, distances independent estimates. closure phases significantly non-zero all wavelengths indicating deviations from point symmetry.
