On Low Mass AGB Stars

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Recent results on low mass AGB stars are presented. Observed amounts of AGB mass loss imply that thermal pulses will only be encountered for stars of initial mass less than about 4Μ Θ for Pop I and 3 MQ for Pop II. M C -L, M E -7j/, and M E -Tb relations are summarized. Carbon dredge-up has been found in low mass stars of both Pop I and Pop II; the mixing length parameter α is crucial to dredge-up, and its value must be normalized according to each author's opacities and mixing length treatment (e.g.… Show more

“…at least a factor of 10 or more) insufficient to explain the s−process that requires more than one neutron by seed 56 Fe. This so-called "s−process mystery" (Sackmann & Boothroyd 1991) is a common failure of all the recent stellar evolution models of TP-AGB stars. It is moreover reinforced by the fact that other lighter nuclides also capture part of the available neutrons (mainly, by increasing order of atomic mass, 12 C, 14 N, 17 O, 19 F, 24 Mg, 25 Mg, 26 Al g , 28 Si, 29 Si, 30 Si, 31 P, 32 S, 33 S, .…”
