Poster Title: Feeding the central kiloparsec by long-term stellar mass-loss

Abstract: Stellar mass-loss by low-mass stars is an important mechanism to refuel galactic disks and bulges by gaz over the Hubble time. Using analytical and N-body models with non-instantaneous gas recycling, we show how stellar mass-loss from both disk and bulge stars affects the fuelling, concentration and dynamics of the central kiloparsec. We discuss how the gas return rate from stars compares with large-scale inflow due to bars.
