Résumé : 3-D simulations suggest that the atmospheres of red super-giants are subject to large-amplitude convective motions, which are suspected to generate supersonic motions and shocks. We perform tomography of supergiant-star atmospheres, on temporal series of high-resolution spectra and on 3-D hydrodynamical synthetic spectra. The tomographic technique is improved by the computation of the contribution function, which is used to construct numerical spectral masks probing different optical depths. This exploratory work allows us to put spatial and temporal constraints on velocity fields predicted by 3-D model atmospheres. © EAS, EDP Sciences 2013.
