Deep dredge-up in intermediate-mass thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars
We present results of the evolution of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of 3 and 5 M with solar metallicity calculated with the Eggleton stellar evolution code (STARS), which has a fully implicit and simultaneous method for solving for the stellar structure, convective mixing and nuclear burning. We introduce the concept of a viscous mesh in order to improve the numerical stability of the ca...
متن کاملStellar Models and Yields of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
We present stellar yields calculated from detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We evolve models with a range of mass from 1 to 6M⊙, and initial metallicities from solar to 1/200 of the solar metallicity. Each model was evolved from the zero age main sequence to near the end of the thermally-pulsing AGB (TP-AGB) phase, and through all intermediate pha...
متن کاملMass loss of stars on the asymptotic giant branch
As lowand intermediate-mass stars reach the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), they have developed into intriguing and complex objects that are major players in the cosmic gas/dust cycle. At this stage, their appearance and evolution are strongly affected by a range of dynamical processes. Large-scale convective flows bring newlyformed chemical elements to the stellar surface and, together with pul...
متن کاملEvolution and nucleosynthesis in low mass Asymptotic Giant Branch stars
— People usually smile when astrophysicists assert that we are sons of the stars, but human life confirms this sentence: about 65% of the mass of our body is made up of oxygen, carbon occurs in all organic life and is the basis of organic chemistry, nitrogen is an essential part of amino acids and nucleic acids, calcium is a major component of our bones. Moreover, phosphorus plays a major role ...
متن کاملStellar evolution on the Asymptotic Giant Branch
Mass loss dominates the stellar evolution on the Asymptotic Giant Branch. The phase of highest mass-loss occurs during the last 1–10% of the AGB and includes the so-called Miras and OH/IR stars. In this review I will discuss the characteristics and evolution of especially Miras, and discuss how they are linked to the mass loss. There are indications that high mass-loss rates are only reached fo...
