The Structure and Polarization Properties of the SiO Masers in the Extended Atmosphere of R Aquarii

Silicon monoxide (SiO) maser emission has been observed towards many late-type stars. The conditions necessary for the formation of SiO masers dictate that they be produced in a region which is inside the silicate dust formation point close to the surface of the star. Very Long Baseline Interferom...
