We report the study of ISOGAL fields in the outer galactic bulge (-1.5° < l < +1.6°, −2.6° < b < + 6.0°, area ∼ 0.42 deg2). We have combined 15 μm and 7 μm ISOCAM observations with 2MASS JHKS data to determine the nature of the sources and the interstellar extinction. Most of the ISOGAL sources show evolution of mass-loss rates in the range 3×10−8 to 1 × 10−6 (M⊙/year). Most of the detected sources are red giants above the RGB tip; a few of them show an excess in J-Ks and Ks-[15] colors. These sources are AGB stars with large mass-loss rates.
