Scientific paper

Evidence has been accumulating for (1) mass loss in many post-main sequence stars; (2) integrated mass loss sufficent to affect the evolution of such stars; and (3) epochs of mass loss that may be normal for nearly all stars. The precise timing, mechanisms and consequences of such mass loss are not yet, however, well understood. Stellar pulsation, which is closely related to evolutionary phases of substantial mass loss, may play a key role; there are also physical reasons for expecting pulsation to cause or at least enhance mass loss. Attention is presently given to the consequences of pulsation-related mass loss for post-main sequence star evolution, and it is suggested that most evolutionarily significant mass loss is closely related to stellar pulsation.
