We analyze the spectral map obtained on Y CVn, a J-type carbon star on the Asymptotic Giant Branch. The H I line profiles can be interpreted with a model of a detached shell resulting from the interaction of a stellar outflow with the local interstellar medium.We reproduce the spectral map by introducing a distortion along a direction corresponding to the star＇s motion in space.
