A program to search for steady-state thermal emissions from stars has been in progress for several years in Canada (Purton 1976). In this program we have specifically excluded flaring objects (such as β Lyr or HR1099) where non-thermal emission is probably responsible. Out of the 30 or so detections, about 1/4 of them show a ~+1 spectral index, suggesting a 1/r2 density profile in the emitting region. This implies the existence of a non-static circumstellar envelope which is mostly likely the result of continuous mass outflow.
