"Mid-infrared spectral monitoring toward AGB stars - Probing the formation of circumstellar dust - "

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are the stars in the final evolutionary stage of low- 
and intermediate-mass stars. They are known to show mass-loss events caused by their stellar wind, 
and the events play an important role for chemical evolution of the universe. 
The stellar wind is thought to be driven by radiative pressure on dust formed around the central star. 
After the grains are formed, they are accelerated by the radiation from inner region, 
and the gaseous material is accelerated by the gas-dust collisions. 
This scenario has not been fully investigated by observations. It is important to probe 
when, where and what kind of grains are formed around the region where the stellar wind is driven, 
and mid-infrared spectral monitoring is one of useful methods. 
As an example, I will present our monitoring observation toward HV2446 and IRAS04544-6849, 
which are Mira type variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud, taken with Spitzer Space Telescope. 
Both objects showed time variation of silicate features. These variations can be explained 
mainly by the temperature variation caused by the luminosity variation of the central star. 
However, the strength and the shape of the feature around the visual maximum phase cannot be 
explained by this effect. This suggests possibility of the dust formation around this phase. 
From this result, the monitoring observations are thought to have big potential to probe the grain formation events. 
In this talk, I will discuss about this result and the usefulness of long-term monitoring observations with mini-TAO and TAO.
