Abstract. We have modelled the spectral energy distri­
bution of the carbon­rich star UU Aurigae, which shows
an excess flux in the far infrared and sub­millimeter re­
gions, in terms of a detached shell generated by an episode
of higher (than the current) mass loss rate. Two different
compositions for the detached shell were used: oxygen­rich
