摘要
To study the effect of metallicity on the mass-loss of AGB stars, we have conducted mid-infrared photometric measurements of AGB stars in the Sagittarius and Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxies ([Fe/H] = -1.1 and -1.3) with the 10 mu m camera VISIR at the VLT. These observations, combined with previous near-infrared photometric measurements, allow us to estimate mass-loss rates in these galaxies. We show here that the observed AGB stars display dust-driven mass-loss. Dust mass-loss rates are found to be in the range 6 x 10(-10) - 4.4 x 10(-8) M-circle dot yr(-1) for the observed AGB stars in SgrD and around 2 x 10(-8) M-circle dot yr(-1) for the star observed in Fornax.
