A Review of AGB Mass Loss Imaging Techniques

Abstract

Circumstellar imaging, across the electromagnetic spectrum, allows to derive fundamental diagnostics for the physics of mass loss in the AGB phase. I review the current status of the field, with particular emphasis on the techniques that provide the strongest constraints for mass loss modeling efforts.
