Context. Previous studies have concluded that low- and intermediate-mass stars cannot account for the interstellar dust yield in the Magellanic Clouds inferred from far-infrared and sub-millimetre observations. Aims. Luminous blue variable stars (LBVs) form dust as a result of episodic, violent mass...
