Query: Numerical simulations of stellar SiO maser variability. Investigation of
  the effect of shocks   A stellar hydrodynamic pulsation model has been combined with a SiO maser
model in an attempt to calculate the temporal variability of SiO maser emission
in the circumstellar envelope (CE) of a model AGB star. This study investigates
whether the variations in local physical conditions brought about by shocks are
the predominant contributing factor to SiO maser variability because, in this
work, the radiative part of the pump is constant. We find that some aspects of
the variability are not consistent with a pump provided by shock-enhanced
collisions alone. In these simulations, gas parcels of relatively enhanced SiO
abundance are distributed in a model CE by a Monte Carlo method, at a single
epoch of the stellar cycle. From this epoch on, Lagrangian motions of
individual parcels are calculated according to the velocity fields encountered
in the model CE during the stellar pulsation cycle. The potentially masing gas
parcels therefore experience different densities and temperatures, and have
varying line-of-sight velocity gradients throughout the stellar cycle, which
may or may not be suitable to produce maser emission. At each epoch (separated
by 16.6 days), emission lines from the parcels are combined to produce
synthetic spectra and VLBI-type images. We report here the results for v=1,
J=1-0 (43-GHz) and J=2-1 (86-GHz) masers.
