Abstract
We have constructed a model for chemistry in the outflow of an asympto tic giant branch (AGB) star, using a spheroidal anisotropy in density, after that used by Jura. The predicted distributions of a selection o f representative species are shown, and it is suggested that the abund ance distributions observed by interferometry in IRC + 10216 may be th e result of directional variation in outflow velocity.
