Scientific paper
The goal of this article is to show that, if one avoids star forming regions, mass-losing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars can generally be selected from the data that will be provided by the near-infrared surveys which are presently considered. Also, if Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) data are available, the separation between carbon-rich and oxygen-rich stars can be operated by their positions in infrared color diagrams. In extragalactic systems, red supergiants can be discriminated from AGB stars by their luminosities.
