000002810 520__ $$aMass loss is one of the fundamental properties of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, and through the enrichment of the interstellar medium, AGB stars are key players in the life cycle of dust and gas   in the Universe. However, a quantitative understanding of the   mass-loss process is still largely lacking, in particular its   dependence on metallicity.  Direct  measures  of  mass-loss     rates in  AGB  stars of the  Magellanic Clouds (MCs) are limited    to samples of     ˜ 100 stars (e.g. Groenewegen et al. 2009).  Estimates on larger samples of stars are, to date, based on  empirical  relations between mass-loss rates and colors in the mid-IR (e.g. Matsuura et al. 2009).  Our project   aims at a direct measure of mass-loss rate in all AGB stars in the   MC system.
