		| Abstract: | Low- and intermediate-mass stars (1–8 M☉; LIMS) are very important  contributors of material to the interstellar medium (ISM), and yet the  mechanisms by which this matter is expelled remain a mystery.  In this paper we discuss how interferometry plays a role in studying the  interplay between pulsation, mass loss, dust formation, and evolution of  these LIMS. |
