Abstract

We present high-resolution ($0B1), very high Strehl ratio (0:970:03) mid-IR adaptive optics (AO) images of Based on a dust thermal emissionmodel for the observed IR spectral energy distribution and the 9.8 "mAOimage, we deriveadiskdustmassof1:6 ; 106 M andaninclinationof30 –45 from edge-on.We discuss whether the dust disk observed around RV Boo is an example of the early stages in the formation of asymmetric structure in planetary nebulae
