- Abstract
With its high sensitivity and strongly reduced back- ground, Safari-Spica allows for unprecedented studies of the mass loss processes in evolved stars, both from the compositional (mineralogical) and from the geometrical point of view. Apart from detailed galactic studies, for the first time also statistically meaningful samples of ob- jects at different evolutionary phases in the Local Group galaxies with their wide spread of star formation histories as well as metallicities will be within reach.
