Dredge-up and envelope burning in intermediate mass giants of very low metallicity
The evolution of intermediate mass stars at very low metallicity during their final thermal pulse asymptotic giant branch phase is studied in detail. As representative examples models with initial masses of 4M⊙ and 5M⊙ with a metallicity of Z = 0.0001 ([Fe/H] ∼ −2.3) are discussed. The 1D stellar structure and evolution model includes timeand depth dependent overshooting motivated by hydrodynam...
متن کاملThermohaline mixing in low-mass giants
Thermohaline mixing has recently been proposed to occur in low mass red giants, with large consequences for the chemical yields of low mass stars. We investigate the role of thermohaline mixing during the evolution of stars between 1M⊙ and 3M⊙, in comparison to other mixing processes acting in these stars. We confirm that thermohaline mixing has the potential to destroy most of the He which is ...
متن کاملEpisodic mass ejections from common-envelope objects
After the initial fast spiral-in phase experienced by a common-envelope binary, the system may enter a slow, self-regulated phase, possibly lasting 100s of years, in which all the energy released by orbital decay can be efficiently transported to the surface, where it is radiated away. If the remaining envelope is to be removed during this phase, this removal must occur through some as-yet-unde...
متن کاملWhy Do Low-Mass Stars Become Red Giants?
We revisit the problem of why stars become red giants. We modify the physics of a standard stellar evolution code in order to determine what does and what does not contribute to a star becoming a red giant. In particular, we have run tests to try to separate the effects of changes in the mean molecular weight and in the energy generation. The implications for why stars become red giants are dis...
متن کاملUnderstanding Complex Energy Landscapes and Rare Events
Introduction T he amount of data in our world has been increasing at a rapid rate in a wide variety of applied disciplines such as in fi nance (the advent of high-frequency algorithmic trading) and genetics (recent experimental advances have led to vast amounts of new data-sets). As a result, analyzing large data sets is becoming a key basis of competition, supporting new waves of productivity ...
