Deep H and K' images, recorded with the ALTAIR adaptive optics system andNIRI imager on Gemini North, are used to probe the red stellar content in afield with a projected distance of 1 kpc above the disk plane of the starburstgalaxy M82. The data have an angular resolution of 0.08 arcsec FWHM, andindividual AGB and RGB stars are resolved. The AGB extends to at least 1.7 magin K above the RGB-tip, which occurs at K = 21.7. The relative numbers ofbright AGB stars and RGB stars are consistent with stellar evolution models,and one of the brightest AGB stars has an H-K color and K brightness that isconsistent with it being a C star. The brightnesses of the AGB stars suggestthat they formed during intermediate epochs, possibily after the last majorinteraction with M81. Therefore, star formation in M82 during intermediateepochs may not have been restricted to the plane of the disk.Comment: 16 pages of text plus 7 postscript figures; to appear in the PAS
