Abstract
The variations in Mira's apparent size across the near- and mid-infrared are explained in terms of a single H2O shell surrounding the star. This simple model, consisting of a 2200 K H2O shell of column density 7 × 1019 cm-2 and radius 30.3 mas surrounding a 2700 K star of radius 12.8 mas, successfully reproduces a wide variety of interferometric and photometric observations that have been made near maximum phase.
