摘要
Nearby resolved dwarf galaxies provide excellent opportunities for studying the dust-producing late stages of stellar evolution. DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer) is a 3.6- and 4.5-mu m imaging survey of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc. We obtained observations in two epochs, separated by approximately 6 months, to assist in identifying long-period thermally-pulsing (TP-)AGB stars. We find more than 500 dusty variable TP-AGB stars (sometimes called extreme AGB stars). The majority of these stars are new discoveries, including 12 with [Fe/H] < -2 dex. These stars are likely in the superwind phase and thus dominate the current AGB dust input to the interstellar medium of their respective galaxies.
