33. 2O will be patchy within our beam. There is evidence that the disk of α Ori is not uniform in brightness [see, for example, V. A. Klückers, M. G. Edmunds, R. H. Morris, N. Wooder, Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 284, 711 (1997)]. If the water exists in localized areas, a model using a filling factor for water, rather than a uniform chromospheric layer, would be more appropriate. Observationally, a nonuniform distribution of water might make it possible to detect changes in the spectra as the star rotates.
