Abstract

(Abstract only) I present images and analysis of millimeter observations of TX Cam and IK Tau, showing observations of the HCN distribution around these stars, and discuss an unsuccessful search for methanol and CCH. Future millimeter arrays will greatly expand the knowledge of the chemistry in evolved star atmospheres.
