Millimeter Wavelength Radio Map of IRC+10216
BIMA observations of the emission from HCN (left panel) and C4H (right panel) in IRC+10216
(Dayal and Bieging 1993), illustrating the utility of high-resolution molecular line images
for studies of molecular abundance distributions in circumstellar envelopes. The synthesized beamsizes are shown in the lower right of each panel.
