Scientific paper

Evidence suggesting that substantial mass loss occurs during the immediate post-main sequence stages when a star is moving from the main sequence to the giant branch on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is presented. Arguments for mass loss based on the low C-12/C-13 ratios observed in most K and M giants, the apparent low mass of AI Velorum stars, and the varying masses of stars in young clusters are given. The energy constraints on the mass loss are estimated.
