Discovery of water vapour around IRC+10216 as evidence for comets orbiting another star
Article Abstract:
Research describing the observation of water vapour around the ageing carbon star IRC+10216 is presented. It is suggested that the star is causing the vaporization of orbiting icy bodies by changes in its structure as evidenced by its increased luminosity.
