Abstract. CIT 3 (= WX Psc = IRC +10 011 = IRAS 01037+1219), an oxygen-rich long-period variable evolving along the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), is one of the most extreme infrared AGB objects. This M9-10 star suffers currently from mass-loss rates close to 10-5 Msol/yr and is surrounded by an optically thick dust shell which absorbs almost all visible light radiated by the star and finally re-emits it in the infrared regime.
We present the first bispectrum speckle-interferometry observations of CIT 3 in the J-, H-, and K-band. The resolution is 48 mas, 56 mas, and 73 mas, resp. The interferograms were obtained with the Russian 6 m telescope at the Special Astrophysical Observatory in September 1999. Detailed radiative transfer calculations have been carried out and confronted with the observations taking into account the spectral energy distribution ranging from 1 μm to 1 mm, our near-infrared visibility functions at 1.24µm, 1.65µm and 2.12µm, as well as the recent 11µm interferometric measurements of Lipman et al. (2000).
