Towards the understanding of the late stages of stellar evolution and the formation of complex organic molecules
Most of the stars (M < 8 solar masses, Ms) end their lives with a phase of strong mass loss on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), just before they form planetary nebulae (PNe). The strong mass loss efficiently enriches the interstellar medium (ISM) with gas and dust; AGB stars are one of the main contributors to the enrichment of the ISM where new
