AbstractSubmillimeter lines of H 2O and NH 3 have been detected in the carbon star IRC +10216 (CW Leo) with the Odin submillimeter satellite. The detection of the J K-, K+ = 1 10 → 1 10 557 GHz line of ortho-H 2O confirms the earlier detection in the same source with SWAS. The detection of the J K = 1 0 rarr; 0 0 572 GHz line represents the first observation of the ground-state rotational transition of NH 3 in a stellar envelope. By fitting a molecular line transfer model to the observed lines, we derive an ortho-H 20 abundance of 2.4 × 10 -6, which is consistent with estimates from the SWAS observation. The derived ortho-NH 3 abundance of 1 × 10 -6 relative to H 2 is significantly higher than those derived from 24 GHz inversion transitions and is slightly higher than those from vibrational transitions in the infrared band. The high H 2O and NH 3 abundances in the carbon-rich star IRC+10216 underscore shortcomings in the conventional gas-phase LTE and non-LTE chemical models. © 2006. The American Astronomical Society.
