===================================================================== ==> In this proposal, more time is being requested for TTANABE.REDSTAR3 ===================================================================== AGB stars are very luminous red giants which represent a late stage in the evolution of low- to intermediate-mass stars. Throughout their evolution along the AGB they lose mass, prodigiously so towards the end, which is known as the superwind phase. Thus, infrared observations are necessary for a study of the evolution of late stages of stars and, especially, the mass-loss phenomenon and its effects on stellar evolution. With known distances and metallicities and with a wide range of age, globular clusters (GCs) in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer an excellent opportunity for observational studies of stellar evolution. In order to make clear the evolution of late stages of stars and, especially, the mass-loss phenomenon and its effects on stellar evolution, we proposed in our GT proposal, TTANABE.REDSTAR3, to observe systematically the GCs in the MCs using 3 LW filters of ISOCAM. However, because SWS's sensitivity was not so good as expected and because the total ISAS time is limited, we are obliged to cut down our proposal and observations of old GCs in the MCs were omitted. We here request to complete our GT proposal, that is, ISOCAM observations of old GCs in the MCs.
