Post-AGB Stars as Tracers of AGB Nucleosynthesis: An Update
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chemical evolution of galaxies is governed by the yields from stars, and here we focus on important contributions asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. AGB nucleosynthesis is, however, still riddled with complexities. Observations post-asymptotic (post-AGB) stars serve as exquisite tools to quantify understand nucleosynthesis. In this contribution, review invaluable constraints provided post-AGB which study nucleosynthesis, especially slow neutron capture (i.e., s-process).

Post-AGB stars as testbeds of nucleosynthesis in AGB stars
We construct a data base of 125 post-AGB objects (including R CrB and extreme helium stars) with published photospheric parameters (effective temperature and gravity) and chemical composition. We estimate the masses of the postAGB stars by comparing their position in the (log Teff , log g) plane with theoretical evolutionary tracks of different masses. We construct various diagrams, with the ai...
متن کاملStellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis of Post-agb Stars
I discuss recent new models of post-Asymptotic Giant Branch stellar evolution. These models aim to clarify the evolutionary origin and status of a variety of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars such as central stars of planetary nebulae of Wolf-Rayet spectral type, PG1159 stars or Sakurai’s object. Starting with AGB models with overshoot such stars can evolve through one of four distinct channels...
متن کاملFluorine in extremely hot post-AGB stars: evidence for nucleosynthesis
We have discovered lines of highly ionized fluorine (F and F ) in the far-UV spectra of extremely hot (Teff=85 000–150 000 K) post-AGB stars. Our sample comprises H-rich central stars of planetary nebulae as well as H-deficient PG1159 stars. We performed non-LTE calculations and find strong F overabundances (up to 10−4 by mass, i.e., 250 times solar) in a number of PG1159 stars, while F is ...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis in metal-poor AGB stars
We present detailed abundance results concerning CEMP (Carbon Enhanced Metal-Poor) stars and the various subclasses. Statistical arguments from radial velocity monitoring show that these stars are all binaries and have mass transferred from a former AGB. Therefore these stars are the direct witnesses of the nucleosynthesis production of the first low and intermediate mass stars. To put CEMP sta...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis in Intermediate Mass Agb Stars
We present a summary of the main sites for nucleosynthesis in intermediate mass Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. We then discuss some detailed evolutionary models and how these have been used to create a synthetic evolution code which calculates the nucleosynthesis very rapidly, enabling us to investigate changes in some uncertain parameters in AGB evolution, such as mass-loss and dredge-up...
