The Later Evolution of Low Mass Stars (< 8 solar masses)
... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_Nebula AGB stars are known to lose mass at a prodigious rate during their final stages, around 10-5 - 10-4 solar masses per year. This obviously cannot persist for much over 100,000 years. The mass loss is driven in part by the pulsational instability of the thin he ...
