| Abstract: |
MESS (Mass loss of Evolved StarS) is a Herschel Guaranteed Time
Key Program that will image about 100, and do spectroscopy of about 50,
post-main-sequence objects of all flavours: AGB stars,
post-AGB stars,
planetary nebulae, luminous blue variables, Wolf-Rayet stars, and
supernova remnants.
In this review the implementation and current status of MESS is outlined,
and first results are presented. |
