Abstract

Evolved stars on the asymptotic giant branch and red supergiants have multiple processes that can be studied in the (sub)mm, including stellar surfaces, circumstellar thermal gas and dust, and masers. Telescopes such as APEX and ALMA have opened the possibility to perform studies that are revealing new information on these, as well as on the role of binaries in shaping stellar winds and the evolution to planetary nebulae. Here, we discuss some recent results for (sub)mm observations towards evolved stars focusing particularly on masers. This includes SiO and water masers, as well as ALMA high angular resolution observations of HCN masers towards a carbon-rich star.
