Star -- Gas Cycle in Galaxies
Abstract
The importance of the star-gas cycle for the evolution of galaxies is discussed. We describe three different ways of stellar mass loss: a) the gas return from low and intermediate mass stars, b) the stellar winds from OB associations; c) the superwinds from superstar clusters.
