Abstract

We present here a study of the Infrared properties ofAsymptoticGiant Branch stars (hereafter AGB) based on existing databases,mainly from space-borne experiments. Preliminary results about Cand S stars are discussed, focusing on the topics for which futureInfrared surveys from Antarctica will be crucial. This kind ofsurveys will help in making more quantitative our knowledge of thelast evolutionary stages of low mass stars, especially for whatconcerns luminosities and mass loss.
