AGB evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Abstract
Observations and theoretical studies of the evolution of massive asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Magellanic Clouds are reviewed. Recent results support the hypothesis that AGB is truncated, probably through mass loss, before these stars can attain the theoretically predicted maximum luminosity. In particular, IRAS observations of the LMC provide little evidence for the presence of highly obscured 'cocoon' stars.
