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...

CNO in Low- and Zero-Metallicity AGB Stars

The oldest stars hide information about the chemical evolution of the early universe. In this contect new models of the AGB stellar evolution phase at very low and zero metallicity are presented. Due to the deficiency or absence of CNO catalytic material hydrogen burning operates at significantly higher temperatures than in stars of higher metallicity. As a result convective mixing plays a very...

AGB Stars as Tracers of Star Formation Histories: Implications for GAIA Photometry and Spectroscopy

We argue that tracing star formation histories with GAIA using main sequence turn-off (MSTO) point dating will mainly be effective in cases of very mild interstellar extinction (EB−V < 0.5). For higher reddenings the MSTO approach will be severely limited both in terms of traceable ages (t < 0.5 Gyr at 8 kpc; EB−V = 1.0) and/or distances (d = 2 kpc if t ≤ 15 Gyr; EB−V = 1.0), since the MSTO wil...

Near-IR observations of NGC 6822: AGB stars, distance, metallicity and structure

Observations in the IJKs wave bands covering the central 20′ × 20′ of the Local Group galaxy NGC 6822 have been made with the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma. They have allowed us to characterize, for the first time in the near-infrared across the whole galaxy, its late-type stellar population (i.e. red giant and asymptotic giant branch stars) and to derive from the ratio between carbon-...

The Ofpe/wn9 Stars in M 33

We present HST/STIS Ultraviolet spectra of the six known Ofpe/WN9 stars (“slash stars”) in M 33. These stars were selected for showing the characteristics of the Ofpe/WN9 class from previous optical ground-based spectroscopy. The UV spectra are rich in wind lines, whose strength and terminal velocity vary greatly among our target sample. We analyse the STIS spectra with non-LTE, line blanketed,...
