Abstract (from CDS):

We report the results of a Submillimeter Array (SMA) interferometric observation of 21 µm source IRAS 07134+1005 in the CO J = 3-2 line. In order to determine the morphokinematic properties of the molecular envelope of the object, we construct a model using the Shape software to model the observed CO map. We find that the molecular gas component of the envelopes can be interpreted as a geometrically thick expanding torus with an expanding velocity of 8 km/s. The inner and outer radii of the torus determined by fitting Shape models are 1".2 and 3".0, respectively. The inner radius is consistent with the previous values determined by radiative transfer modeling of the spectral energy distribution and mid-infrared imaging of the dust component. The radii and expansion velocity of the torus suggest that the central star left the asymptotic giant branch about 1140-1710 years ago, and that the duration of the equatorial enhanced mass loss is about 2560-3130 years. From the absence of an observed jet, we suggest that the formation of a bipolar outflow may lag behind in time from the creation of the equatorial torus.
