Mass loss from evolved stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) is an important factor in both stellar and galactic evolution; the total amount of mass lost determines the star's eventual fate as a compact object and plays a significant role in the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium. We combine excess infrared emission derived by Srinivasan et al. (2008) from the Spitzer SAGE survey of the LMC (Meixner, et al. 2006) with variability parameters derived from the MACHO survey (Fraser, et al. 2008, in press) to examine the effects of stellar variability on mass loss from evolved stars on the AGB.
We find that stellar populations differing in chemical composition show different relationships between mass loss and the period and amplitude of variation, while general trends of increasing mass loss with increasing variability are visible in all populations.
