Scientific paper

We propose to complete the Spitzer survey of the Local Group. The galaxies not yet observed include most of the dwarf spheroidals, a galaxy type which, although numerous, has not been heavily studied by Spitzer so far. Imaging observations with IRAC and MIPS will yield a complete census of asymptotic giant branch stars, probing mass loss in galaxies with a range of metallicities, masses, and environments. Long-wavelength MIPS observations will detect any insterstellar dust or constrain the gas-to-dust ratio. Completing the Spitzer observations of Local Group galaxies forms an important part of the Spitzer Legacy for future missions.
