Scientific paper

The author outlines a multi-step scenario which describes a plausible mass loss mechanism associated with red giant and related stars. The process involves triggering a condensation instability in an extended chromosphere, leading to the formation of cool, dense clouds which are conducive to the formation of molecules and dust grains. Once formed, the dust can be driven away from the star by radiation pressure. Consistency with various observed phenomena is discussed.
