Abstract
Stars at the end of their lives return
much of their mass back to the
ISM. This process is the main source of dust in the ISM, and
potentially a source of large molecules. I discuss several areas where
SKA will have major impact on our understanding of the mass loss and
the circumstellar processes. The resulting requirements for SKA,
including frequency coverage and location, are discussed.
