Abstract An analytical model is presented for the IR continuum radiation from red giant stars undergoing or recently having undergone rapid mass loss. The expanding circumstellar envelopes are expected to absorb most photospheric emissions, thereby rendering the red giants, e.g., Mira variables and OH/IR stars, undetectable at optical wavelengths. The model quantifies the radiative equilibrium between a dust grain and the surrounding radiation field. Predictions obtained with the model are shown to be useful for red giants which were detected by the IRAS but were not categorized due to the obscuring cirucmstellar envelope.
