Summary
Pulsation-driven
Mass Loss
refers to the process where stars, particularly
Variable Stars
like
Mira Variables
, lose mass due to
Pulsations in their outer layers
. These pulsations create
Shock Waves
that lift the
Outer layers of the star
, allowing material to escape into space, significantly impacting the star's evolution and the
Interstellar medium composition
.
