  1. What do we study?
  2.  
We study evolved stars that are losing their surface matter into the surrounding space via mass loss to answer questions such as...
  1.  
  2. What physical mechanisms drive these mass loss processes?
  3.  
  4. What physical mechanisms are involved in determining the structure of the circumstellar ejecta?
  5.  
  6. What is the nature of solid-state matter in the ejecta?
  7.  
  8. How does evolved star mass loss contribute in enriching the universe?
