Over the last decade we have witnessed a rapid change in our
understanding of the late stages of stellar evolution. A major
stimulus to this has been the synthesis of observational data from
different wavebands of the electromagnetic spectrum. The advent of
infrared astronomy has led to the discovery of many luminous.
late-type stars obscured by their circumstellar dust envelope.
Sources discovered in the IRC and AFGL infrared sky surveys were
followed up by radio observa tions, leading to the widespread use
of the OH and CO molecules as probes of the circumstellar
envelopes. Advances in the technique of aperture synthesis have
made possible observations with unprecedent resolving power, both
in spectral-line and continuum. The success of the recent IRAS sky
survey, with the detection of over 250,000 sources, brings the
promise of even more exciting years ahead. This area of
astronomical research is also blessed with the close collaboration
between theorists and observers. New ideas are constantly being
quantitatively tested by new data. Theoretical predictions are
eagerly used as guides for further observations. This conference
was initiated with the following objective: bring together workers
in optical, infrared, radio and theoretical astronomy and let them
confront each other. Based on the post-conference res ponses we
received, many of the participants have indeed found this Workshop
a stimulating experience. The Workshop on the Late Stages of
Stellar Evolution was held from 2-5 June 1986 in Calgary, Canada."
