Abstract of Research Activities
Studying observationally the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars in their late stages. Especially, the mass-loss phenomenon and its effect on stellar evolution in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. Also, interested in the variable phenomenon and the formation of circumstellar dust. Want to clarify these yet unresolved problems by the near and mid infrared observations.
