| + | Absorption bands of **TiO** in the visible have been identified in spectra of stars more than hundred years ago. In fact, these features are instrumental to classify M- and S-type stars. Moreover, TiO is thought to be responsible for the pulsation of Mira stars, one class of variable O-rich late-type stars. However, these features originate from the atmospheres of these stars, not from the circumstellar shells of these stars. | ||
