Description Envelopes around evolved stars are extraordinarily efficient
factories of complex molecules and dust particles that will eventually enrich
the ISM. To date, most chemistry studies have focused on C-rich
envelopes, expected to show the largest molecular variety and
abundances. Recent observations suggest that O-rich shells may be as
chemically diverse as their Carbon counterparts, however, no serious
attempt has been made yet to perform a full frequency scan of such
objects. We propose to carry out a line survey with HIFI of the well
known, O-rich pre-PN OH 231.8, which displays fast (>400 km/s),
bipolar outflows and a molecular richness unparalleled amongst O-rich
AGB and post-AGB stars. Results from our exploratory mm line survey
with the IRAM 30 m antenna of this object has led to the detection of
hundreds of lines from different species that clearly point to
non-equilibrium/shock-induced molecule formation processes in the fast
flow. The HIFI could be potentially effective to reveal the dense and
warm regions near the centre, which is strongly affected by shocks.

At its completion, this project will provide the sorely needed
molecular inventory and abundance measurements in O-rich CSEs,
which are required to obtain a better understanding of the intricate,
non-equilibrium molecule formation processes in O-rich environments.
We will use our radiative transfer and chemistry models to reproduce
the observed spectra and empirically derived abundances, respectively,
and constrain the nebular physical and chemical conditions in the
envelope of OH231.

Mission Description Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
